Question : Problem: Cannot upgrade to SCCM 2007

Good Day,

I am trying to upgrade SMS 2003 SP3 to SCCM 2007. But am getting an error saying "Fatal Error: Configuration Manager Setup cannot continue because of the following error: Configuration Manager Requires Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP2 or later. You must upgrade before installing Configuration Manager."

Before going to install SCCM 2007 i upgraded our SQL Server 2005 SP1 server to SP2 and confirmed this by running the below query in SQL Server.

SELECT 'SQL Server '
+ CAST(SERVERPROPERTY('productversion') AS VARCHAR) + ' - '
+ CAST(SERVERPROPERTY('productlevel') AS VARCHAR) + ' ('
+ CAST(SERVERPROPERTY('edition') AS VARCHAR) + ')'

This query when run displays the below result:

SQL Server 9.00.3042.00 - SP2 (Enterprise Edition)

When i look at the "ConfigMgrSetup.log" its saying the below:

<03-13-2009 14:13:46> Prerequisite checking will run as part of the setup.
<03-13-2009 14:13:46> Running test query.
<03-13-2009 14:13:46> Sql version is 8.0, 8.00.760.
<03-13-2009 14:13:46> Sql version is not compatible.
<03-13-2009 14:13:46> Configuration Manager requires Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP2 or later.  You must upgrade SQL Server before installing Configuration Manager.

Why is the Sql version 8.0, 8.00.760. when i did upgrade it?

Please advise how i can resolve this issue to continue with my upgrade to SCCM 2007.

Note that i am using full administrative access this also includes schema rights etc. Im running Windows 2003 SP2 Standard.

Thanks.
