23.  There is also an enctrypted SQL connection string in the web.config file, default path is C:\Program Files\Symantec\Workflow\ProcessManager\web.config - it may be on a drive other than C in your environment. You can use lbutil.exe Workflow tool to update the encrypted connection string - its default location is C:\Program Files\Symantec\Workflow\Tools\lbutil.exe

Open command window and run the following command, providing the correct file path where indicated.

Full Command  (only replace with your install drive and SQLServer,port or SQLServer Name\Instance,port)

Go to install Drive and location <Install Drive>:\Program Files\Symantec\Workflow\Tools\lbutil.exe  -updatepmconnection -connectionstring Data Source= SQLSERVER\INSTANCENAME,55599;Initial Catalog=ProcessManager;Integrated Security=True;Pooling=True;Connect Timeout=30 -webconfig <Install Drive>:\Program Files\Symantec\Workflow\ProcessManager\web.config
