If you plan to install SQL Server Express on a computer that is different from the workstation where PI Manual Logger is installed, additional configuration may be required to allow remote PCs to connect to the SQL Server.
-
Click Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server <VersionNumber> > Configuration Tools > SQL Server Configuration Manager.
-
Expand SQL Server Network Configuration.
-
Expand Protocols and enable the appropriate protocol to get your SQL Server to allow remote connections on the network. You will likely just need to choose TCP/IP.
-
Restart the SQL services to complete the configuration from within SQL Server Configuration Manager by selecting the SQL Server Services item.
-
Verify that the SQL Server Browser service is running.
