Database Got Nuked from Orbit

My database server got nuked and had to be rebuilt.  Now when I attempt to reconnect the vKernel appliance it won't talk to the database server, MS SQL 2008 R2.  The check settings button verifies the user credentials as being good.  When I hit the proceed button to have the database built I get the follow error:

Databae configuration has error: Hibernate operation: Cannot open connection: uncategorized SQLException for SQL(???)

Any one have any ideas that dosen't require me to rebuild the vKernel appliance and have to go through the licensing headache?

Thanks
