postgresql 8 - DNS server

[Van den bosch]

Unable to install postgreSQL 8 on a DNS-server, because during the
installation postgreSQL searches after \\servername\user, but the
servername differs
from the DNS name.

Is there a workaround for this problem?

Thanks,

Guy

This is with the MSI installer, right?

Try using .\user instead of servername\user. This apparantly does not
work on all OS versions, and I just can't remember which doesn't work,
but it's worth a try.

In general, try to fix your machine :) Having different netbios and DNS
names *will* give you problems, and not just with postgresql.

Reconcile the NETBIOS and DNS machine identities, maybe?
