Hi Everyone,
We are running Moodle 2.7 and installed on a Windows server and SQL 2008 R2. Everything seems to work well.... but.
We did the installation according to the instructions setting the collation to: Latin1_General_CS_AS as the instructions specify - I have verified this at the table and column level. When we try to do a sync with AD, we get the error below which seems to indicate that it is expecting SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS rather that the one in the instructions.
-- Has anyone worked through this issue? I am finding similar requests on the forum with no resolution.
-- If I just switch the collation to the one that LDAP seems to need, will there be other impacts to moodle?
