Configure the SE-Viewer Database for  Microsoft SQL Express 

All events are written to a Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft SQL Express database. For use in a production environment, AVIcode recommends configuring the system to use a SQL Server database.

Prerequisites

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express Edition

Installation Packages

The following installation packages are required:

Install MSSQL Express Edition

It is strongly recommended to install MSSQL Express Edition 2008 (64-bit installer) on 64-bit environment, because MSSQL Express 2005 requires IIS to be run in 32-bit mode. Running IIS in 32-bit mode on a 64-bit system requires additional system setup and can affect existing web applications. If you still want to install MSSQL Express Edition 2005 on 64-bit operation system please read How to configure IIS to be run in 32-bit mode for the appropriate instructions.

For 32-bit systems we recommend MSSQL Express Edition 2005.

Install MSSQL Express 2005 with Advanced Services

Install MSSQL Express 2008 with Advanced Services

Configure the SE-Viewer Database

Enable SQL Authentication on MSSQL Server

Configure IIS to Run in 32-bit mode

MSSQL Express Edition 2005 requires IIS to be run in 32-bit mode. To enable the 32-bit version of ASP.NET please complete the steps described below depending on your IIS version. This operation is not needed for MSSQL Express Edition 2008, because it has installers for both 86x and 64x operation systems.

Enable the 32-bit version of Microsoft ASP.NET on the computer with IIS 6

Enabling 32-bit ASP.NET applies only to 64-bit environments

To enable the 32-bit version of ASP.NET:

cscript %SYSTEMDRIVE%\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1

%SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe –i

Enable the 32-bit version of Microsoft ASP.NET on the computer with IIS 7

 IIS7 Components Pre-requisites

If you do not enable all of these features, the Reporting Services option will not appear in the Feature Selection dialog box of the SQL Server Setup program.

IIS7 Configuration
