Install and Configure SQL Server Express

If you do not have SQL Server installed, install SQL Server Express from DVD1 alternatively.

Follow these steps:

1. Change to the Installers\Windows\External\MSSQLExpress directory on DVD1 and run setup.
2. After the installation, use SQL Server Configuration Manager to enable TCP/IP.
3. Determine the static TCP Port number from SQL Server Configuration Manager (Network Configuration/Protocols/TCP/IP Properties/IP Addresses).
4. Apply the port number and instance name (SQLEXPRESS per default) during CA Virtual Assurance installation to connect with SQL Server Express.

If you plan to access a remote SQL Server:

• Install SQL Server Client on the CA Virtual Assurance manager computer.
• Enable Remote Connections on the remote SQL Server.
