Update the management server or event server SQL server address

  1. If your management server and event server are located:
    1. together on the same computer and you wish to update both SQL addresses, go to the computer where your management server is installed.
    2. on different computers and you wish to update the management server SQL address (and later the event server SQL address), go to the computer where your management server is installed.
    3. on different computers and you wish to update the event server SQL address only (or you have already updated it on the management server), go to the computer where your management server is installed and copy the directory %ProgramFiles%\Milestone\XProtect Management Server\Tools\ChangeSqlAddress\ (with content) to temporary directory on the event server.
  2. If you choose:
    1. steps 1.1 and 1.2, go to the notification area of the taskbar. Right-click the Management Server icon, select Update SQL address. Repeat the process to update the event server SQL address.
    2. step 1.3, paste the directory you copied to a temporary place on the computer where the event server is installed and run the included file:VideoOS.Server.ChangeSqlAddress.exe.
  3. The Update SQL Server Address dialog box appears. Select Management Server and Event Server and click Next.
  4. Enter or select the new SQL server and click Next.
  5. Select the new SQL database and click Select.
  6. Wait while the address change takes place. When a confirmation message is presented, click OK.
