SytelineMaster

I found this article is pretty useful on understanding various Syteline service too.

There are two types of logins used for Syteline 8.00, 8.01 and 8.02.  This article discussed the areas that use Windows Accounts and SQL ‘sa’ accounts would need to be updated.

• Windows Login – This Login should be part of the Windows Administrator Group. This solution is specifically for the instance of changing which windows account is being used and/or changing the password of the windows account being used for Syteline.

• SQL Server Login – This is a SQL Server login named ‘sa’ which is created with the installation of the SQL Server.  This solution can also be used if you are going to be changing the ‘sa’ password.  On some of the forms indicated below you may also be prompted to input the SQL Server Login ‘sa’ account and password.

This article focus is the basic Utility Server setup.  You may have more then one Utility Server or your environment may consist of one server that has the SQL Server and Utility Server installation combined.  The Syteline Installation Guide Chapter 2 – Setting Up the Utility Server – Configure the Utility Server is the page we will be starting with pags 28 – 44..
