I have already installed the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 for Dell
OpenManage IT Assistant. If I want to migrate to Dell Management
Console, will this database work or should I install another database?
In general, the number of systems you expect to manage and the number of
alerts you expect from your managed systems determine the database to use
with Dell Management Console. If you manage less than 500 devices, you can
use either SQL Express 2005 or SQL Server 2005 (32-bit).
