I am currently using a MS sql server 2005 database for Dell Openmange.  When I  do an install of The newest Dell Management console on  a new win 2003 server and try to attach to this old database I get the following error.

'The database 'ITAssist' selected on the SQL Server specified is not an  NS 7 database.  Please change your selection to specify an existing NS7 database or specify a database name to create that does not already exist.'

Any ideas?

Solution

Good evening,

ITAssist is a completly different product from the Dell Management Console.  As far as I understand there is no migration from IT Assist  to the DMC. 

DMC is based on Altiris, dont know what IT Assist was based on as I havent used it....

Hope that helps,

drop me a note with quetions

Migrate ITA discovery options to DMC

You do have the option to migrate the ITA discovery options from ITA to DMC.  There is a migration tool in the quickstart on the DMC portal page.

 

Thanks!
