5 1 Introduction 1 Introduction Purpose of the document This document describes the necessary settings when preparing a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 database installation for use with UNICORN 6.x. By default, a Microsoft SQL Express 2008 database is installed as part of the UNICORN installation. However, if a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 database server installation is preferable, it is possible to install UNICORN 6.x onto that server instead. However, some prerequisite settings must be made for the server before UNICORN is installed. These settings are described below. If nothing else is noted, the settings are made in the SQL Server 2008 Setup wizard. Wizard steps which are not described below can be bypassed without changes by clicking the Next button. This document is primarily intended for GE Healthcare field service personnel, as well as IT administrators of large customers, as a complement to the regular UNICORN 6.x documentation. Supported operating systems The following operating systems are supported for SQL Server installations according to this guide: Windows XP (32-bit) Windows 7 (32-bit) Windows Server 2003 (32 and 64-bit versions) Windows Server 2008 (32 and 64-bit versions) UNICORN 6.x - SQL Server 2008 installation procedures AA 5
