Install Service Configuration from StruSoft installer. You can find the application through the filter in the IMPACT tab, select the Server (figure 1).

Figure1: Service Configuration in Strusoft Installer

Please note! Service Configuration has dependencies and requires redistributables. If the server is waiting for a windows update, the install of a new version of Service Configuration could result in a reboot of the server. Therefore, installs/updates of the tool should be carried out outside the working hours.

The first group of text fields is related to the database. Type in Server Name (figure 2, 1), Database (figure 2, 2), User Id (figure 2, 3) and Password (figure 2, 4). The second group
