2 Verify Prerequisites
2.1 Verify software requirements
It is recommended to install always the latest service pack of the selected SQL Server engine.
Netspan verifies the SQL version during installation and checks for the minimum supported version.

Note: Netspan server should be installed on a dedicated server machine. The

configuration where Netspan shares the database on the Netspan Server with
another application is not supported.

Note: Netspan requires an English version of the Operating System (OS),

keyboard and SQL Server.

Caution: The user is responsible for checking the Microsoft web site for later
service packs and hot fixes.

2.2 Netspan Pre-requisite Installation Order

1. Install Software Environment (i.e. OS with all latest service packs).
2. Install IIS if not installed.
3. Install .NET Framework if not installed for all OS other than Windows Server 2008 64 bit.
(.NET 4.0 client profile already installed as part of the OS).
4. Install SQL Server.

Note: When performing a clean installation of Netspan on a machine that has

never had Netspan installed before it is imperative to install the pre-requisites in
the correct order.

4 Appendix A - How to Change SQL Server Authentication
To allow installing and using Netspan with SQL Server Authentication Mode, it must be assured that
the SQL Server Authentication is set to “SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode” on the SQL
Server Security Properties Configuration Window and that there is a SQL Server Authentication Login
created with “sysadmin” role. Note that SQL Server might need a restart after doing these changes.

4.1 Set SQL Server Authentication Mode

1. Open the Server Properties Window. (In SQL Management Studio “Object Explorer” panel,
right-click on the server entry and select properties from the popup window. If the “Object
Explorer” panel is not showing, that can be opened from the “View” menu option).
2. Select the Security Page
3. Select the Option: “SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode” and click OK
