|
|
After many hours of frustration, I have figured out the basics for deploying
and MSOA database to a server running SQL2005 and connecting client machines.
1. Create database on a client machine that has SQLExpress installed locally.
2. Detach database
3. Copy .sbd file to server and attach
4. Create AD user group; add MSOA users; give this group dbowner rights in
the attached database
5. In Sql Configuration Manager, add port 5356 to the existing 1433
6. Copy .sbc file to a network share
7. Edit .sbc file. The format is:
database=<MSOAdatabase>
server=<servername>\MSSQLSERVER
note: forget specifying a port number. MSOA uses 5356 regardless.
8. If the server is running SQL2005 standard or above, create nightly backup
job
You are done. The database is on a server, secure, backed up reliably and
not leaving the building. |
