and the IT Assistant Connection Service on management station by
right-clicking the individual services from the

and select
Properties . Select the Dependencies tab. There should be no
dependency on MSSQLServer Service. Restart the management station to
let these changes take effect.

and IT Assistant Network Monitoring Service. IT Assistant now connects
to the IT Assistant database deployed on the SQL Server of the remote
database system.
NOTE: If the IT Assistant services dependency on the local SQL Server service
has not been removed as described in previous step, the SQL Server service on
management station needs to be running for IT Assistant services to be started,
even if the SQL Server database is not actually used by IT Assistant.

IT Assistant database on the remote database system, start the ODBC
Data Source Administrator from the
Control Panel  Administrative
Tools
on the management station. Select the System DSN tab.
The
ITAssist system data source is displayed.
