About configuring SQL server

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an Internet protocol for
automating the configuration of computers that use TCP/IP.
The DHCP can be used for the following purposes:
To automatically assign IP addresses.
To deliver TCP/IP stack configuration parameters such as the subnet mask
and default router.
To provide other configuration information such as the addresses for printer,
time and news servers.
The DHCP server dynamically provides an IP address to Intel AMT devices.
You must configure your DHCP server to support Option 15 and be able to return
the local domain suffix.
Intel SCS requires Microsoft SQL Server 2005. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 is not
currently supported.
If you already installed Symantec Management Platform on Microsoft SQL Server
2008, you can install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on another computer in your
network, and then configure Out of Band Management Component settings.
For instructions, see Out of Band Management Component Release Notes.
Microsoft SQL Server must be configured in mixed authentication mode (Windows
Authentication and SQL Server Authentication).
Out of Band Management Component uses two SQL databases: Notification Server's
database (Symantec_CMDB) and Intel SCS (Symantec_CMDB_IntelAMT).
If you want to install multiple OOB site servers to different subnets or geographic
locations, ensure the SQL server is accessible from all these locations. All OOB
site servers must use the same SQL server and the same database.
See "About planning OOB site servers hierarchy"
You must configure the firewall on the SQL server computer to allow connections
to the SQL server.
See "Configuring a firewall to allow Intel SCS and SQL server connections"
on page 39.
You can install SQL server on the Notification Server computer; however, if you
plan to use several other Altiris solutions or Altiris solutions that are database
