Re: Migrating the WSUS database from a Windows Internal Database instance to a SQL Server 2005 instance on a remote server



If you need to add a machine account, try adding the login
with SQL instead of the GUI:
CREATE LOGIN [YourDomain\ServerName$]
FROM WINDOWS
Keep in mind though that anything running under Network
Service on that other box has been granted a login so you
open up a security hole when doing this.

Hey,

I am planning to migrate the WSUS database from a Windows Internal
Database instance to a SQL Server 2005 instance on a remote server.

http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/b4852133-5ed3-48d7-8a95-e7866e638c181033.mspx?mfr=true

The FE machine account should be listed as a login on the sql server
running on the BE machine. If it is not, it should be added. How do i
add a machine account to SQL server?

I suppose i would have to add DOMAIN\SERVERNAME to the securtity
logins but it wont let me.

Help is appreciated.

TIA Martin
