Remote Microsoft SQL Server and IT Assistant
This section describes how to configure IT Assistant version 8.9 and later,
to use Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 running on a remote server as the
IT Assistant database.
Configuring IT Assistant to Use a Remote Database
IT Assistant ships with the SQL Server-compliant default database—SQL
Server 2008 R2 Express Edition. The IT Assistant Network Monitoring Service
and the IT Assistant Connection Service access the SQL Server-compliant
default database—SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition that ships with
IT Assistant.
When the database resides outside the IT Assistant management station,
as in the case of a remote database, it is necessary to make the IT Assistant
Network Monitoring Service and the IT Assistant Connection Service on the
management station to access the remote database.
