We are trying to install HP SIM to a Hyper-V host machine. SQL server 2008 is already installed on it. While installing HP SIM, it asks for SQL database credentials. After entering database credentials (tried both sa and windows auth), it is showing as "specified database credentials are not valid".
Installed new SSMS and we are able to login to SSMS with both sa and windows authentication.
Created new local admin user and tried with that user, still the same result.
Please get back to me on this .
