Problems with connection to database.

Question

I have a problem with my installation of a Team Foundation Server.

The problem is that I uninstalled and then reinstalled an SQL Server 2008. I didn't give it the same name as previously and now I can't do anything with my installation of Team Foundation Server. I planned to re-install this as well but now it can't find the database and it needs that in order to uninstall.

I have attached the databases to the new SQL instance.

How do I inform the Foundation Server that it needs to look at a new database so I can get it uninstalled?

EDIT: I can further say that when I try to Repair or Reinstall the TFS I get the following error:

TF220066: An error occurred while the Setup program was opening a connection to the database on the Team Foundation data-tier server. Verify that the name of the server and that a firewall or other network connectivity issue is not blocking network traffic. Click Next to try again. For more information about this error, see the installation logs. For more information about the installation logs, see "Troubleshooting Installation for Team Foundation" in the Team Foundation Installation Guide.

I just want to be able to remove it so I can start over :D

Answer 1

Are no one able to tell me how I get this thing uninstalled?

Answer 2

I ended up installing a new instance of SQL server with the name I of the one I had previously uninstalled. This allowed me to uninstall the Foundation Server.
