Author The SQL Server collation on SQL Server instance 'xx\yy' is not sup

SQL server on a cluster server environment, and when I access SQL server
instance and right click properties I could see right collation that I want,
but MOSS(sharepoint 2007) installation throws an error in event log. Any one
knows what settings this installation may be looking or can I ignore this
error and move ahead, installation went successful. Again when I tried to
connect index server (where MOSS search and index services are running) it
throws error into event log again but process went successful.

Any ideas?

Error thrown to event log
---------------------------------------
The SQL Server collation on SQL Server instance 'MachineName\Instanc
e name’
is not supported. Windows SharePoint Services requires a Latin1 General
dictionary order, case insensitive, accent sensitive, kana sensitive, and
width sensitive collation (SQL_Latin1_General_
*_CI_AS).


Thanks!!

Hi

As the error message says your collation is not supported I would change it
even if it seems to work.
