The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

SharePoint Services 3.0 "Cannot connect to the configuration database." Also STS_Config_Login fails

Asked by Prez2510 in MS SharePoint, SQL Server 2005

Tags: Microsoft, Sharepoint Services, 3.0

Our sharepoint services failed the other week. I am not getting "Cannot connect to the configuration database."

I tried MS kb:823287 and that did nothing for me.

Getting these in the event viewer:

#50070: Unable to connect to the database STS_Config_11157 on SERVERNAME\MICROSOFT##SSEE. Check the database connection information and make sure that the database server is running.

SQL Database 'STS_Config_11157' on SQL Server instance 'np:\\.\pipe\MSSQL$Microsoft##SSEE\sql\query' not found. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below.

Cannot open database "STS_Config_11157" requested by the login. The login failed.
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE'.

The description for Event ID ( 18456 ) in Source ( MSSQL$MICROSOFT##SSEE ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE, [CLIENT: <named pipe>].

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
