Install the Database Server module
Once you have installed Microsoft SQL Server and the pre-requisite software on the Database
Server machine, you can install the Database Server module. The procedure below includes the
installation of the optional Locator Service module – we recommend you install a Locator
Service for most systems; the service is essential for multi-domain systems.
To ease the workload on this Locator Service, you may install Locator Services on other
machines in the same domain. All Locator Services then perform similar tasks in a load-
balanced arrangement.
In general, two load-balanced Locator Services meet the requirements of most systems.
Note:
•
For the installer to be able to perform the required tasks in SQL Server during the
installation of the Database Server module, the user account you use must be a
member of the dbcreator fixed server role in SQL Server; it must also be a member of
the sysadmin fixed server role. (You give the user account these roles in Microsoft SQL
Management Studio).
