On SBS, and with more than 20 stations, it is much better overall to run VIPRE in SQL mode.
- Install Microsoft SQL Server Express, 2005 or 2008, if not already installed.
- Install Microsoft SQL Management Studio Express, of the same version, if it was not installed with SQL server.
- In SQL Studio, create a database within an SQL instance — either an existing instance or a new one — called VIPRE.
- Create an administrative user for connection to the SQL server.
- In the VIPRE console configuration, under Report Database Settings, put in hostname\instancename for “Server”, and the database name for “Database”.
- Put in the user created in #4 for SQL-level authentication.
- Click Test. If all is well, it will ask if you want to create the tables. Click OK. Then you’re done!
