I've some problem on configuring a Microsoft Live Communication Server 2005 beta version.

After finishing the DNS and domain setting, and the installation of Active Directory, I run the setup of LCS.

When I progressed to the step of "Create Enterprise Edition Pool", I always got an installation failed 'cause I didn't know exactly that what value of the column "pool backend SQL server instance" should I filled into . The error message is roughly described as below:

*********
<SetupBackendDB LogId="mydomain.local">
<ScriptCmdLine>cscript.exe"D:\LCS_2005\Enterpris e Edition\Setup\I386\dbsetup\dbsetup.wsf" /clean /sqlserver:"SQL\instance" /sqlfilepath:"D:\LCS_2005\Enterprise Edition\Setup\I386\dbsetup" /dbpath:"C:\LC Data\" /logpath:"C:\LC Log\" /serveracct:"WORKGROUP\RTCHSDomainServices" /adminacct:"WORKGROUP\RTCDomainServerAdmins" </ScriptCmdLine>

<ScriptOutput>
<![CDATA[

</ScriptOutput>

Can anyone help me, please?

Project 2003 ??
No, it is not in conjunction with Project 2003.
But I know it is familier, maybe the notes help.

I just want to set the live communication server up and use the SIP Communication Service of Windows Messenger 5.0.

Is the information enough ?
