Hi
I have just starting using for SPAutoinstall for a client. When configure the script to run on a standalone windows 2008r2 SharePoint 2010 server and do not
```
<dbserver><dbserver>
```
You get a lovely exception (see attachment) - the comments in the config file confused me as it seemed to indicate that it would default to localhost. Now the whole situation gets more weird as when I either enter eitehr "localhost" or "NAME_OF _SERVER" (without the quotes) , the script breaks at the beginning when it first attempts to connect to the server - go figure!
To rectifiy I had to simply put the ip address of the server and I get a config db created..
```
<dbserver>IP_ADDRESS<dbserver>
```
I wonder if it is a environmental/ netbios / DNS issue so if nobody has this then please delete.

Sorry, don't see an attachment. But when you say, 'standalone' - do you mean as opposed to 'farm'? In other words, where SharePoint installs the local Express Edition instance itself? Did you pre-install SQL server?
