1.2 New in Version 4.0

SQL Server Database

Novell Storage Manager for Active Directory now utilizes Microsoft SQL Server 2012 or 2014 as the product database. If you do not already have SQL Server, you can download the Express version of SQL Server for free. Novell Storage Manager 4.0 includes a utility for migrating the contents of the SQLite database to the SQL Server database. These contents include policies, schedules, pending events, and so forth. For more information, see Migrating the Databasein the Novell Storage Manager 4.0 for Active Directory Installation Guide.
