I just started with Microsoft Commerce Server and my first problem was that after installation of the product, including the service packs and feature pack 1 my MSCS_Admin database was not found in SQL Server.
After googling i found out that this is easily resolved by doing the following:
- Create a database with the name MSCS_Admin
- Open the SQL Query Analyser in this new database
- Start the admin_schema.sql script found in the folder c:\Program Files\Microsoft Commerce Server 2002
- Make sure that the login credentials are correct by starting the Commerce Server Manager and right-click properties on the "Commerce Server Manager" node.
