Have an existing SQL express instance I have inherited that I cannot create a DB on. These are express instances for Lync server, which due to this problem we are unable to upgrade Lync and the upgrade process drops and creates new DB's.
The error is 15281, server blocked access to procedure dbo.sp_send_dbmail. I can go ahead and enable that feature and then I get blocked by profile is invalid. I can setup db mail and a profile and can submit and email via a script and it sends but still get the error around the invalid profile name, although the DB actually creates. The problem is the Lync installer cannot handle the error so it quits in the process, and I would rather get the root cause of the issue. Just want to be able to create a DB without a dependency on DB mail as this instance has no need for it.
Why would there be a dependency on these functions in order to create a DB?? Profiler has been of little use as it shows the CREATE DATABASE batch complete.
Any ideas??
