To verify Microsoft SQL Server instance prerequisites, complete the following steps.

  1. In SQL Server ManagementStudio, in the Object Explorer pane, right-click your server, and then click Properties. Typically, your server is the first item listed in the tree.
  2. In the Server Properties dialog box, under Select a Page, click Security.
  3. Under Server authentication, select SQL Server and Windows Authentication Mode, and click OK.
  4. If prompted, click Yes to restart the server.
    Note: Restarting the server shuts down and starts up all databases on this instance.
  5. In SQL Server Configuration Manager, ensure the TCP/IP Protocol is enabled for the IP address and port you intend to use for your configuration.
    Note:
