User Provisioning Tool for Vista part of SP2 Upgrade

[Database Administrator]

Hi,

This option appears as part of the SP2 setup process. If you do not check
the Launch button can it be run at a later time? If you are not currently
running VISTA but will move to VISTA at a later date should it be run at SP2
upgrade time?

When I launched it the user to provision was the admin account I was using.
Do I have to run this for all the local admin accounts and if so how can I
use this tool to change all the accounts? I see I can change it when it runs
but I had to run a component upgrade to get to the screen.

Thanks

Chris

You can launch the user provision tool after setup completes by launching
the "SQL Server Surface Area Configuration" tool.

If you are moving to Vista on a different machine it is not necessary to run
now. But if you are planning to upgrade the existing machine, then you
should just run the tool now so you don't forget to do it later.

Thanks,

Thanks Peter. Is at the end of setup the only place to run this? How can you
get to it if you don't run it then, which is what happened when I was
testing the SP2 upgrade? I see no way of getting to it again.

You can do this at the later part.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared\SqlProv.exe

The screen will come out again.
