Changing SQL Server information
Use this task to edit the SQL Server connection configuration details. This is useful to make
changes to the user account information in ePolicy Orchestrator when you make changes to
the SQL Server authentication modes in another program, for example, SQL Server Enterprise
Manager. Do this if you need to use a privileged SQL user account for added network security.
You can use the page indicated below to adjust any database config file information that used
to be done with the CFGNAIMS.EXE file.
Things to know about this page:
• Authentication — If the database is up, uses normal ePO user authentication and only a
global administrator can access. If the database is down, a connection is required from the
system running the server.
• The ePO server must be restarted for any configuration changes to take affect.
• As a last resort, you could always edit the config file by hand
(
${orion.server.home}/conf/orion/db.properties
server and then using the config page to re-edit the db config, which will store the encrypted
version of the passphrase.

Restoring ePolicy Orchestrator databases
If you have been backing up your database regularly as McAfee recommends, then restoring
it is easy. You should not need to do this very often, or ever. Aside from software or hardware
failure, you need to restore the database from a backup if you want to upgrade your server or
database server hardware.
The process varies depending on whether you are backing up a SQL or MSDE database. To
restore a SQL Server database, see your SQL Server documentation.
