3.5 SQL Server Post Configuration Considerations

Review these points and make any needed adjustments to your SQL database settings before installing and configuring the Engine:

  • The SQL Server service must be listening via TCP/IP v4, because the Engine requires TCP/IP via port number for access.

  • Some editions of SQL Server do not have TCP/IP enabled by default. If there are multiple instances, the instance that you just installed and configured might not be listening on the default port of 1433.

  • Firewall rules might need to be modified.
