SQL Error Act 2011 Premium HF1 on Small Business Server 2011 Standard

[devinkramer]

After successful installation of Act 2011 Premium Hot Fix 1 on Microsoft Small Business Server 2011 Standard I get the following Errors when trying to create a new DB.

"Unable to create the database. There is an error connecting to the Microsoft SQL Server"

When I go into the Services administrator I see that   SQL Server (ACT 7) is not started. When I try to start it I get the following Error

"Windows could not start the SQL Server (ACT7) on Local Computer.  For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service specific error code 17058."

The Event log message is not helpful in understanding what the issue may be.

I do see that there are two other SQL instances running "SQL Server (SHAREPOINT)" and "SQL Server (SBSMONITORING)"

If it matters this system is also a Domain Controller for my windows domain.

Has anyone else run into this issue and know of a workaround?

When you say "not helpful" ... what messages do appear when you try to start it?
