Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

To set up the System Data Source Name (DSN) on each test computer

  1. Open ODBC Data Source Administrator.

  2. Click the SystemDSN tab.

  3. Click Add.

  4. In the Create New Data Source wizard, click SQL Server, and then Finish.

  5. In the Create a New Data Source to SQL Server dialog box, fill in the Name and Description text boxes. In the Server box, type or select the name of the computer.

    Important

    • If you previously configured an ODBC data source for the same SQL server, a dialog box may appear which reads, "A new data source will be created with the following configuration." Click Finish if you do not want to change databases. Otherwise, follow steps 6 through 9.

  6. Click Next to accept the following default settings:

    • With Windows NT authentication using the network login ID.

    • Connect to SQL Server to obtain default settings for the additional configuration options.

  7. Click Next a second time to accept the following default settings:

    • Use ANSI quoted identifiers.

    • Use ANSI nulls, paddings and warnings.

      Important

The Change the default database to check box should be cleared. If, when setting up a user account, you selected a database other than master, you should now select the Change the default database to check box, and then click that database in the list.

  1. Click Finish to accept the default setting, Perform translation for character data.

  2. In the ODBC Microsoft SQL Server Setup dialog box, click Test Data Source, and verify that the "Tests completed successfully!" message appears.
