Connection verification failed for data source: dev1
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver][Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]The requested instance is either invalid or not running.
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver][Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]The requested instance is either invalid or not running.

    This assumes you have CFMX 7.01 and SQL Server 2000 installed on Windows 2000/XP/2003
    This may help:

    • Install SQL2000 SP3 ( or latest patch)
    • Create an ODBC DSN within the Microsoft ODBC Manager to make certain the connections are working at this level.
    • Create a new SQL2000 user with administrative permissions, go to the user/admin properties and allow permissions at all levels for the applicable database (not all dbs).
    • Create the JDBC DSN in Coldfusion, use the server name that is listed in the Enterprise Manager.
