slimhack · 06-25-2008, 12:37 AM

My SMS does not work, it doesnt connect to my site and it shows the error below when i try to connect:

P.S. All my servers are using microsoft windows server 2003

"SDK server cannot be contacted. Do you still wish to use this site

server(the console will populate correctly when connectivity is establishe)?

im no expert on this, but i do work for a company who deal with mobile devices (pdas) connecting to servers etc...
one question, if you're using certificates to authenticate the device, are you using the same one as the server is?

i have been thinking the problem was caused by power problems and the boot sequence was not in the right order, could that be right - i restarted the database server then restarted the systems management server but the problem persists.

One other concern is that - physically - i have no SDK server so that confuses me

again, im not sure about all this.. have you got the user accounts in the right groups etc? and firewalls are allowing the access?

I suppose the firewall settings are OK because it has been working just fine and user groups are also alright because the account i'm using is a domain admin account

lawrence.cook specifically and everyone else, thanks;

my problem is solved - some idiot had changed my database server IP ADDRESS so the SMS couldn't contact it.

thanks again
