I am getting a SQL Error on a Standard Edition install while Publishing the topology. I believe that Lync should install SQL express and I see the service "SQL Server (RTCLOCAL)" but the sql connectivity tools were not installed (Maybe by design). The service running the SQL service is the network service (Not a domain account). The error I am receieving is below.
Found "RTCUniversalServerAdmins": True
Found "RTCUniversalConfigReplicator": True
Found "RTCUniversalReadOnlyAdmins": True
Error: An error occurred: "Microsoft.Rtc.Common.Data.SqlConnectionException" "A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)"
TIA
