SQL Server Latest Release Versions, Edition, and Updates
The following requirements must be met before Direct Systems can install their software. Upon completion, support staff must have access to the server, logged in as the same user that installed the database.
1. Install Microsoft SQL Server with SQL Server Management Studio
- If possible, install on the same server where the program files will be located.
- On the website SQL Server Management Studio is called Management Tools.
- When prompted to supply credentials, we suggest choosing "Windows Authentication". If you choose to supply a password, please make note of it.
- We suggest using Microsoft Download Center to download and install.
- SQL Server Instance should be named IBS (e.g., servername\IBS)
2. Enable remote connection to SQL Server
- This allows TCP access and the use of SQL Server Authentication
- Express edition's default installation doesn’t allow remote connection so you have to enable it manually.
3. Configure Window's Firewall for Database Engine Access
- This allows your instance of SQL Server to be visible on your internal network.
- If you are using another firewall beside Windows, please allow the same type access as described in the article.
- The SQL Server Browser Service uses UDP port 1434
4. SQL Native Client must be installed during SQL Server installation for each desktop connection
- Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client (Please Choose 64bit or 32bit depending on your server).
NOTE: Setup a shared folder named "IBSSQL" and grant Everyone full access rights.
