Verify and Configure the SQL Server Properties

preparation to install VCM. For information about server-wide and database-specific SQL Server database
settings, see the VCM Installation and Getting Started Guide.
1. Click Start > All Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 > SQL Server Management Studio.
2. Right-click the SQL instance, and then select Properties. The Server Properties dialog box appears.
3. Select and confirm each of the following settings:
n
General page (You cannot configure these options.)
n
Version: 10.50.1600.1
n
Language: English (United States). If not correct, you might need to uninstall and install
the correct version.
n
Server Collation: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. If not correct, uninstall and reinstall
SQL Server.
n
Security page (You can configure these options.)
n
Windows Authentication mode: Recommended. Select this mode.
n
SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode: Although this setting is acceptable for
VCM, Windows Authentication mode is recommended.
n
Database Settings page (You can configure these options.)
n
Default index fill factor: Type or select a percentage value, which specifies the amount of
free space in each index page when the page is rebuilt. Set the fill factor to 80% to leave
20% free space available in each index page.
n
Recovery interval (minutes): Type or select 5.
4. Click OK to save your changes.
Verify Matching SQL Server and Computer Names
You must verify that the SQLServer name matches the computer name. If you just installed SQL Server
2008 R2, this step is not necessary. However, if you obtained a machine that was renamed after both the
operating system and SQL Server 2008 R2 were installed, verify and reset the server name.
