Do you have an SQL server installed to use for the database, or do you want to use the SQL Express included with HP SIM?

You cannot pre-create the DB and then give HP Sim a DB-Owner account. HP SIM wants to create the DB and therefore needs an account that has appropriate access to &quot;master&quot; to do so. &nbsp;

ah, so in this case everytimethe DOMAIN\Admin account is changed, then I must schedule the downtime for this SIM server and agent domainwide because the CMS server communication will also use the DOMAIN\Admin credentials ?<br />
<br />
ah great, i thought that it would create MSSQLSERVER as the database instance

Need help in Configuring HP Systems Insight Manager with SQL Server 2005/2008 DB ?

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.

Windows Server 2008

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
