i am getting problem while creating site

database the following error "A problem exists with the
Specified name generator server for site." I am using SQl
sever 2008 r2 sp3d 2011 r1

Hi, Govinda.
Make sure that the server that you specified as your Name Generator server actually has the
Name Generator service running. Make sure that the user account that you are using to
restore the site database is in the "Distributed COM Users" account on your Name Generator
server. If both of these check out, then the wrong username / password may have been used
when installing the Name Generator service. In that case, the best thing to do is to *DELETE*
the Name Generator service and recreate it based on instructions in the Project Management
User's Guide. Hope this helps!

Quite few reason for this error. Assuming the name generator is up and running, try the
following.
1. Reinstall the name generator software.
2. Try a different machine with name generator on.
Do ensure the name generator component service is started. If there's a username password
issue, it will crop up here.
1. If the name gen machine is another subnet, ensure it can be pinged from all client
machines. Try DTCping from Microsoft and see if the DTC handshake is without any error.
2. Ensure the name resolution of forward and reverse DNS is correct. From a client machine,
ping the name generator. Now issue command ping -a <IP address of the name generator>.
Confirm the hostname returned matches.
3. The table refdatserverpath table in site and model database should reflect the same
name generator name. This requires a bit more research especially in case of multiplants as
discovered by my dear colleague Kevin Dmonte, MIE (AUST) P. Eng.
6. Check firewall setting

Forgot the main one. For name generator on windows 2008 R2 server, one has to configure
the server role as application server with COM+Network services enabled. For S3D v2014
R1, this is explained in the installation guide, page 97.

I have installed almost all complete ... but I have a similar problem.
When I go to create a new database, an error window it says the name provided by the
generator is wrong appears. (The same error that the partner)
I then proceeded to reinstall the "name generator" and tells me there is an error with access
settings.
I will take photos ... are 3am and I have not solved ... XD
