Using ePolicy Orchestrator with a database
A database must be installed before ePolicy Orchestrator can be installed. Any of the following
databases, if previously installed, meets this requirement.
• SQL Server 2005
• SQL 2005 Express
• SQL 2008
• SQL 2008 Express
NOTE: SQL 2000 is not supported.
If none of those databases was previously installed, the ePO installation wizard detects that no
database is present and offers you the opportunity to install SQL Server 2005 Express.
The following tables provide additional information about the database choices and other
