Description

The Initialize-VamtData cmdlet restores a dep_nextref_vamt database to its initial state and removes all the data from the database. You can preserve the product keys in the database if you need them. You can also suppress the prompt that asks you to confirm the database initialization.

Examples

-DbConnectionString

Specifies the database to be initialized. If no database connection string is provided, dep_nextref_vamt attempts to use the database that the dep_nextref_vamt user console used on the local computer.

On the menu bar, click View, and then click Preferences to open the Volume Activation Management Tool Preferences dialog box. The connection string is in the Database Settings section under Current connection string.
