In this step, the wizard allows you
to either select an existing SQL server instance for use with
NetResident or create a New SQL
server:
If you create a new SQL
server, you should specify a new server name, which must be unique
for the given computer. After that, the wizard will automatically
download Microsoft SQL Server 2014 SP2 Express or Microsoft SQL
Server 2016 SP1 Express from Microsoft’s official Web site (an
Internet connection is required) and then install it. Once the
installation has been completed, a new SQL server instance will
appear on the list of available servers.
If you decide to use an existing
SQL server, select one of the server instances listed in the wizard
window. You may want to click Refresh to update the list of servers
to display all running server instances on your LAN and the local
host. Once you have selected an existing SQL server, click
Next to have the
NetResident Database
Manager connect to the selected SQL server. If the
connection attempt fails, you will see the following dialog:
Typically, this might happen when
trying to connect to an SQL server that was not installed by the
NetResident Database
Manager, in which case you should enter the correct SQL
server login and password. You should contact the server
administrator to get the credentials or try to use the default “sa”
account; see this document if you
encounter a problem.
