Situation
What steps need to be done before upgrading?
Do I need to upgrade to SQL 2005 before upgrading my SCM installation?
Resolution
See attached Zip file. Open the zip file and rename PasswordUtility.txt to PasswordUtility.exe to proceed with the instructions.
Cause
All versions of the Secure Configuration Manager database application later than SCM 5.6 require Microsoft SQL Server 2005. Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is no longer supported for use with the Secure Configuration Manager database after version SCM 5.6. Before upgrading from Secure Configuration Manager to the latest version you must perform one of the following tasks to upgrade your database:
- Upgrade your current database to Microsoft SQL Server 2005
- Move your Secure Configuration Manager database to a new computer running Microsoft SQL Server 2005
