Instance name

Do not use the default name. Create a name such as SEPM.

By default, a database named Sem5 is created in the SQL Server instance when you install the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager. The default instance is unnamed. It is supported, but can cause confusion if you install multiple instances on one computer.

Authentication configuration

Mixed Mode or Windows Authentication mode

See About SQL Server database authentication modes.

sa password

Set this password when you set Mixed Mode authentication.

Enabled protocol

TCP/IP

IP addresses for TCP/IP (SQL Server 2005 and 2008 only)

Enable IP1 and IP2

TCP/IP port numbers for IP1, IP2, and IPALL (SQL Server 2005 and 2008 only)

Set TCP Dynamic Ports to blank, and specify a TCP Port number. The default port is typically 1433. You specify this port number when you create the database.

The Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager database does not support dynamic ports.

Remote connections (SQL Server 2005 and 2008 only)

Must be enabled. TCP/IP protocol must also be specified.

Document this password and put it in a secure location. You cannot change or recover the password after you create the database. You must also enter this password for disaster recovery purposes if you do not have a backed up database to restore.

See Preparing for disaster recovery.

Database server

local host name

Name of the Microsoft SQL Server and the optional instance name. If the database server was installed with the default instance, which is no name, type either host name or the host's IP address. If the database server was installed with a named instance, type either host name\instance_name or IP address\instance_name. Using host name only works with properly configured DNS.

If you install to a remote database server, you must first install the SQL Server client components on the computer that runs the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager.

The port used to send and receive traffic to the SQL Server.

Port 0, which is used to specify a random, negotiated port, is not supported.

SQL Server 2008: C:\​Program Files\​Microsoft SQL Server\​MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\​MSSQL\​Data

Location of the SQL Server data directory. If you install to a remote server, the volume identifier must match the identifier on the remote server.

• If you install to a named instance on SQL Server 2000, the instance name is appended to MSSQL with a dollar sign. For example, \MSSQL$instance name\Data.

• If you install to a named instance on SQL Server 2005, the instance name is appended to MSSQL with a dot numeric identifier. For example, \MSSQL.1\instance name\Data.

• If you install to a named instance on SQL Server 2008, the instance name is appended to MSSQL10. For example \MSSQL10.instance name\Data.

Clicking Default displays the correct installation directory, if you entered the database server and instance name correctly. If you click Default and the correct installation directory does not appear, your database creation fails.
