When installing the Xerox CentreWare MOM 2005 MP on a management server, it will require a SQL database and login to create two databases to support discovery and configuration. The setup program uses the DTSRUN executable to create the required databases and default configuration required by the discovery program.

Where you might run into issues is when the SQL service specified during setup is on a remote server. I ran into this issue recently and I wasn’t able to get much information because the DTSRUN command window(s) were flashing on/off the screen too fast. The resolution to my issue was installing the SQL 2000 client component prior to installing the Xerox MP.
