9.2.2 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.
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.
