Hi,
I'm trying to install MS CRM server 2016 on a server pointing to SQL 2012 database server. I keep getting timeout error when trying to connect to SQL. The event logs on the SQL server have the following error
FCB::Open failed: Could not open file D:\MSSQLDATA\CRM2016_MSCRM.mdf for file number 0. OS error: 2(The system cannot find the file specified.).
The binary data under details show the following, where X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X is the name of the SQL server.
Binary data:

What I have noticed is the following:
1. When the application (CRM) is trying to connect to SQL, the database is temporarily created in the required drive but soon disappears, before getting the above error.
2. The SQL server service account and the installation account have full access to the SQL database drives.
Kindly help me resolve this issue.
