Installation guide

If you intend to use an existing instance of SQL Server 2005, MSDE 2000 or SQL 2000,
you can reject the installation of SQL Server 2005 Express.
If you do not have a supported version of SQL or MSDE, take one of the following actions:
• Install a database.
• Install SQL Server 2005 Express on the same computer where ePolicy Orchestrator is
to be installed.
• Install SQL Server 2005 Express on a remote computer before proceeding with the
ePolicy Orchestrator installation. To do so, start the process on that computer. Accept
the opportunity to install SQL Server 2005 Express. When it is installed, terminate the
installation of ePolicy Orchestrator.
NOTE: If installing ePolicy Orchestrator with SQL 2005, the SQL Browser must be
enabled or you cannot complete the installation wizard.
