Database considerations
Using ePO with a database
A database must be installed before ePO can be installed.
• Any of the following databases, if previously installed, meets this requirement.
• SQL Server 2005
• MSDE 2000
• SQL 2000
• If none of those databases was previously installed, the ePO installation wizard detects that
no database is present and offers you the opportunity to install SQL Server 2005 Express.
• The following tables provide additional information about the database choices and other
software requirements.

If the database and ePO server are on the same system,
McAfee recommends using a fixed memory size in
Local database server
Enterprise Manager that is approximately two-thirds of
Licenses
the total memory for SQL Server. For example, if the
computer has 1GB of RAM, set 660MB as the fixed
memory size for SQL Server.
A license is required for each processor on the computer
where SQL Server is installed. If the minimum number of
SQL Server licenses is not available, you may have
difficulty installing or starting the ePolicy Orchestrator
software.
Ensure that the database is not installed on a backup
domain controller (BDC).
