I am having a similar issue but with the with _[Scenario 2: Connect By Using Instance Name and Windows Authentication](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Connecting+to+Microsoft+SQL+Server#:~:text=Configuration%20Manager%20at-,Start%20%3E%20All%20Programs%20%3E%20Microsoft%20SQL%20Server%20Version%20%23%20%3E%20Configuration,authentication%2C%20we%20can%20configure%20Ignition.)_ part. Before setting up MSSQL in the gateway. After I put in my credentials when I try to restart I get this error: > Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start. I have tried all of the following but no luck: - All the troubleshooting aspects at the bottom of the link above, including option 2 for taking out the [TLS from the java.secruity file](https://support.inductiveautomation.com/hc/en-us/articles/4417310204813-TLS-v1-0-and-v1-1-Microsoft-SQL-Server-Database-connection-issue) - Added both 1433 and 1434 port to all through the firewall - used chat GPT for this walk through. - This [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeKhquoXTxs) video on Error 1068 - put the DLL zip downloaded file in both directories: **C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\lib** & **C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\user\lib\jdbc** Has anyone delt with this and if so any advice or points in the right direction would be greatly apricated.
