Install SAP IdM MSSQL on different drive than "C:"

[Former Member]

We are in the process of building our IDM systems and want to install the MSSQL DB on a different drive than C:. Has anyone else done this and what changes to the _SqlAuth.vbs & SQL4SAP.vbs (which _SqlAuth.vbs called during installation) are required to facilitate this.

Thanks in advance.

I am not sure what the problem here is.

The MMC files can be installed whereever you want.

Where the DB files are located is controlled by SQL Server.

If you already have the DB on C:\

Just detach, move and attach again.

That should do the trick.

I don't see why it should not be possible. IdM just connects to DB. When I was installing a demo system the installation of MSSQL server was a separate step. Then I just run scripts to create DB but those scripts just connected to DB. DB system was on completely different box.

Cheers
