Re: MSDE Message
A couple of times we've had the MSDE configuraion applaiction strat unprompted. At one one point it stops and says: "Setup has detected your current SA Password is set to blank. Please use sp_password to set a strong SA password and restrat setup or set BLANKSAPWD = 1 to ignore this vulnerability. Refer to readme for more details. Setup will now exit." Then the configuration engine restarts and you go round in a cycle until you press cancel. Sometimes it restarts but finally gives up.
This has only happened since we upgraded to Recorder 6.10.4 (standalone version). It doesn't seem to cause any other problem but it would be good to know what is happening and what MSDE is trying to do.
