7.1 Overview

Crystal Reports Server uses Central Management Server (CMS) database to store information about
the Crystal Reports Server system and its users. Other components of Crystal Reports Server can
access this information as required.
You must set up the CMS database on top of a local Microsoft SQL Server 2005 database for a
Crystal installation on Windows. Although the Crystal Reports Server installer allows you to set up
the CMS database on top of an MSDE database, this configuration is not tested or supported with
Sentinel.
