The following issues might arise when trying to install DBXL on a computer with Terminal Services installed:
1. If installing the web service to one machine and using the SQL instance on another machine, DBXL cannot add the user Domain\MachineName$ to the remote SQL instance. This error completely prevents the installation of DBXL with an error that states “Failed to connect to the SQL Server”.
If you encounter this error, please manually add this user to the SQL permissions.
2. Using any other user group besides “BUILTIN\Administrators” for the DBXL Admin permission gives an Access Denied error when trying to publish DAT.
3. After DBXL is installed, clicking on the Administration Tool link on the web page that is opened crashes InfoPath.
To manually install DAT when error 2 or 3 occurs, follow these steps:
a. Open the URL http://localhost/QdabraWebService/DbxlAdmin.asmx from the machine where DBXL is installed.
b. Select the PublishDATFormTemplate web method.
c. Input the file path to the DAT template to upload and then click Invoke.
