Dynamics GP 2010 Utilities error "The Microsoft SQL Server database compatibility level for your Microsoft Dynamics GP databases is not supported. Change the compatibility level to SQL Server 2005 or later, refer to KB article 2399690"

Cause:

The database compatibility level of one or more Microsoft Dynamics GP databases is not set to SQL Server 2005 (90) or SQL Server 2008 (100). This is a new requirement starting with Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 Service Pack 1.

Solution:

Change the database compatibility level of all Microsoft Dynamics GP databases to SQL Server 2005 (90) if running Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or to SQL Server 2008 (100) if running SQL Server 2008.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If an integrating application or customization requires the database compatibility to be something other than SQL Server 2005 (90) or SQL Server 2008 (100), change the database compatibility temporarily for the Service Pack 1 installation and then change it back to the required setting. Please be aware that this process will have to be performed for every hotfix and service pack installation following Service Pack 1 if the compatibility level is set back to a version older than SQL Server 2005 (90).

Perform the following steps:

1. At the Microsoft SQL Server, click Start, click All Programs, click Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or Microsoft SQL Server 2008, and then click SQL Server Management Studio.

Windows 2008 Server R2 Enterprice: Joining my existing domain

I attempted to join my existing domain with this server being a member server, and received a message:

An attempt to resolve the DNS name of a DC in the domain being joined has failed. Please verify that this client is configured to reach a DNS server that can resolve DNS names in the target domain.

I actually know how to fix this, I think... when configuring IP addresses, I didn't put the local address of my domain controller in as one of the DNS possibilities. Once this change was made...it worked.
