Hello Listers,
I did find an old ARSList message about moving a remote SQL server DB. It really is that simple. I'm still not sure if the db account name should be dbo or ARAdmin. The old system has dbo with ARAdmin as the login name but the new account was created as ARAdmin with ARAdmin as the login. I was able to create a form so it "appears" to be functioning. Any info would be appreciated. --- John J. Reiser Senior Software Development Analyst Remedy Administrator/Developer Lockheed Martin - MS2 The star that burns twice as bright burns half as long.

The DBA copied the existing database and restored it to the new SQL Server. I changed the Remote-DB line in the ar.cfg file and started up the services. All appears well, I created a test form and it shows up in the new ARSystem DB. First off I can't believe it was that easy but I do have a concern. The ARAdmin account was created as a dbowner but the account name and login name are both ARAdmin. Does it matter? Should the account name be dbo? TIA, --- John J.
