To add the new account to SQL Server
This section assumes you are using SQL 2000 Standard or Enterprise. If you are
using the MSDE Database installed by SharePoint Portal Server out of the box, this
does not apply—to add a user to MSDE, you must use the MSDE ISQL Tool and the
sp_adduser stored procedure. In either case, the user privileges described here are
the same.
An account to be used to access data in the Contoso, Inc. Support Group must
also be able to create a database in SQL Server to hold content for the site. To enable
this, the user must have SQL Server Administration privileges either through the
Administrator account or the internal ‘sa’ account.
1. Log in as an SQL Administrator.
2. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server, and select
Enterprise Manager to open the SQL Server Enterprise Manager console.
3. Under Microsoft SQL Servers, locate the Windows SharePoint Services database
instance. If the instance is not shown—that is, only (local) is shown—you
need to register the server as follows:
a. Right-click SQL Server Group, and select New SQL Server Registration.
b. Click Next on the opening page of the wizard.
c. In the box just below Available Servers, enter the instance name for Windows
SharePoint Services as \SHAREPOINT. (If your server name
is S2003E, this would be S2003E\SHAREPOINT.)
d. Click the Add button. The name you entered should appear under Added
Servers.
e. Click the name to select (highlight) it, and click the Next button.
f. On the Authentication Mode screen, select Windows Authentication
and click Next. When you are successfully connected, click Close.
g. Click the plus sign (+) to expand the SQL Server group, and then click
the \SHAREPOINT database instance.
