I need to enable filestream in SQL server, but I've found two ways to do this:<br />
<br />
1. Configuration manager &gt;&nbsp;services &gt;&nbsp;instance &gt;&nbsp;properties &gt;&nbsp;filestream &gt;&nbsp;Enable filestream<br />
2. SSMS &gt;&nbsp;Server &gt;&nbsp;Right-click &gt;&nbsp;Properties &gt;&nbsp;Advanced &gt;&nbsp;Filestream access level &gt;&nbsp;Select “Full access enabled”<br />
<br />
Which is better (or should they both be set) and is there a difference?<br />
<br />
Thanks
