How do you resolve a Windows Sharpoint Server event log error on Windows 2003 SBS
When I reboot the server I noticed that the event log had the following errors listed about 8 times in a row.
Event ID 1000
Source: Windows SharePoint Service
#50070: Unable to conect to the database STS_Config on dell-server\SharePoint. Check the database connection information and make sure that the database server is running.
I noitced that in the error above it says "dell-server\SharePoint" the server name has been changed to something else, Could this be why we are getting this error? How would I change this error.
I also went to SharePoint Central Administration. and it trys to open up a webpage going to http://localhost:8081 that doesn't load

do you have a good portal up and running and your getting these errors or is your portal not working?

We don't use the SharePoint services. I do believe it is even turned off in IIS or at least stopped.
are you running wss or is it a server without any of those services and your still getting the error ?
ASKER
We don't use WSS to my knowledge. unless it needs to be installed because of other services need it.
Earlier tonight I went into IIS and stopped the SharePoint Central Administration and Microsoft SharePoint Administration
Just now I just read this article and tried to uninstall it WSSe
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288469.aspx
I show three sites
companyweb (which I uninstalled) and it shows not installed
Default web site (shows v5.0.2.5012) and status "Upgrade"
Microsoft SharePoint Administration (shows v5.0.2.5012) and status "Not Administrable"
The companyweb seems to be the only one I was able to uninstall
I'd like to just remove the whole works if I don't need it for any other services that might depend on it, but I doubt there is.

Well I just ended up removing IIS from compontents and was going to reinstall IIS but now I'm running into an issue finding a convlog.exe file, I keep pointing to the file on the root of i386 but no go. So I'm stuck at the moment.
This server is just used as a file storage, domain logon and Kaspersky monitoring server. It's for a small jewelry store with 1 server and 3 workstations. I just installed an agent that watches the event logs and saw that it was throwing these errors on SharePoint which isn't used by the employees so I figured that I would just uninstall it. I somehow overlooked the entry of "Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0" in the add/remove programs. I uninstalled this also along with removing IIS. Hopefully I can figure out the issue with reinstalling IIS but I think this issue will be resolved when I do. Thanks for all your help mccarthybri

Just ended up removing IIS component and removing Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 from add/remove programs for the easiest way to fix SharePoint which isn't used on the file server.
