Hi

I try to install hglab but I have some difficulties with database connection string. I have run script to create hglab database and for the moment I have kept all script default parameters for login and password.

I use this script to connect :
Server=SOURCE_SERVER\SQLEXPRESS;Database=hglab;User Id=hglab;Password=hglab

I get error : Could not connect to the Microsoft SQL Server using provided connection string ......

The database exist I have used Microsoft SQL Server management to verify that

Is someone have an idea?

   Hi!

   Just to double-check: do you have SOURCE_SERVER in the connection string? It has to be a valid hostname of the server and generally be identical to what you see in the SQL Server Management Studio (see attached screenshot - the (local) and srv-db5 parts).
