IT Assistant installation

Question

Hi.   A fresh installation of IT Assistant 8.0 prompts you to install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition or someting better (SQL Server 2000/2005). Is there a way, to move default database (after installation) to different server ? I have located entries in ODBC sources and dconfig.ini file, but proper changes (pointing to database server, not local resources) did not succeeded. Hover, testing modified entries in ODBC sourcess succeed. Database was detached and moved to database server (where proper changes ware made - paths and so on). I've located 'nasty' entries in registry - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Dell Computer Corporation\Dell OpenManage IT Assistant\Connection Service\LogFilePath and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Dell Computer Corporation\Dell OpenManage IT Assistant\Connection Service\DbFilePath, where paths to .MDF and .LDF files are from local file system :/ So ... is there a way to modify 1./ ODBC Sources 2./ Registry 3./some .ini files, to provide IT Assistant with database, which is located on another, separated database server ?   Ok, plase close topic. I found this doc -> http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/solutions/remote_sql_server_ita7.pdf Message Edited by purek77 on 05-13-2008 05:44 AM

(1) IT Assistant User's Guide has a section on how to set up a remote database. See link below:

(2) On a separate note, ITA version 8.0 is pretty old. The latest version is 8.2, would suggest (its always a good idea) you to have the current version, unless you have a strong reason not to do so.
