Installing NAS from command line

eagle_eye

Are the following steps all that need to be done to create a new NAS from a command line:

1) From command prompt of the new directory of NAS files, NAS installasservice

2) From command prompt of the new directory, NAS appserver=newname, servername=SERVERNAME, database=DATABASENAME, company=COMPANYNAME, startupparameter=PARAM

Is that all?

You could even put it into one command prompt line.

Don't forget to assign a user to the new service and set it up in your database.

Thanks. I have tried this command line, but am getting "The TCP/IP connection's 'host' is not answering.

I am working in an SBS 2008 environment and am unsure where I can go to diagnose this. I w went to the event log, application, and there are no messages there. Do you have any clues?

Never mind - i needed the nassql command - not nas

Thanks!!

You even need to do it in one command, or else execute 2) before 1).
You also usually need to specify then nettype= parameter with NAS for native db.

Do you receive this error when executing the NAS appserver=newname, ... command?
Can you post the complete command line, please.

For starting NAS from command line and debugging, I usually use:

nassql.exe appservername="NAS Service Name", NETTYPE=TCP, servername="SERVER\SQLINSTANCE", database="DATABASE NAME", company="COMPANY NAME", nettype=tcp, startupparameter="STARTTUP-PARAMETER", objectcache=40000, debug
