MSDE/MS SQL Server database backend
Screenshot 132 - MSDE/MS SQL Server backend properties dialog
To use an MSDE/MS SQL Server database backend:
1. Select the ‘MS SQL Server’ option and specify the name/IP of your
SQL Server.
2. Specify the authentication mode to be used when logging on to the
SQL Server. GFI Network Server Monitor supports both Windows NT
and SQL authentication modes. To use SQL authentication, select the
‘Use SQL Server Authentication’ option and specify the SQL Server
access credentials. For Windows NT authentication mode, select the
‘Windows NT authentication’ option.
NOTE: If the specified server and credentials are correct, GFI Network
Server Monitor will log into the SQL Server and create the necessary
database tables. If the database tables already exist, it will re-use
them.
3. Click on ‘OK’ to save your configuration settings.
