Business Portal Installation Problem ? Is your server named “BP” ?

A couple of people have posted in the newsgroups about installation problems with Business Portal when their server was named “BP”

Renaming the server, reinstalling MOSS fixes the problem. As Tom points out, and I did a quick check – there isn’t really anything in the documentation warning against naming the server “BP”.

I guess things can’t really go right for you, if you are named BP nowadays. :)

I've been told the same by Microsoft Support about having an underscore in the server name - but a hyphen (dash) in the name is just fine.
