We had our original install on MSDE then imported that into a separate SQL server instance. Just have to make sure you have the necessary rights, and make a few changed to your ODBC configuration.<BR /><BR />Jeff Thu, 09 Oct 2003 16:10:55 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-insight/database-options-for-im7-sp2/m-p/3089861#M9993 Jeff Mathews 2003-10-09T16:10:55Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-insight/database-options-for-im7-sp2/m-p/3089862#M9994 Thanks, thats the answer I was looking for :)<BR /><BR />Next question is there any documentation that tells how? I'm not exactly knowledgable with databases, but I do have a DBA I would seek help from. Just need to know what I have to do on the IM 7 side fo things.<BR /> Thu, 09 Oct 2003 16:18:34 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-insight/database-options-for-im7-sp2/m-p/3089862#M9994 Timothy Schaffer 2003-10-09T16:18:34Z
