At this point, you can close SQL Server Configuration Manager.

If the SQL Server database is on the same machine that Ad Manager is installed on, the server name to use when logging into Ad Manager is localhost (if you have SQL) or localhost\SQLExpress (if you have SQL Express).

If the SQL Server database is on a different machine than Ad Manager, the server name to use when logging into Ad Manager will be the name of the server (this can be found by right clicking My Computer and selecting Properties, then going to the Computer Name tab and checking the Full computer name (e.g. JD-AM-570)

Step10.PNG

If the machine is running SQL Express instead of SQL, then use the name of the server, followed by \SQLExpress (e.g. JD-AM-570\SQLExpress).

If you are not sure of the name of the server, or would prefer to use the IP Address of the server, you can enter the IP address of the server (e.g. 128.128.128.1) when logging in to Ad Manager (if you have SQL Express on the server, then use the IP address of the server, followed by \SQLExpress (e.g. 128.128.128.1\SQLExpress)
