Remote SQL Server and 4.0 -> 4.5 Console Upgrade

Ok, so I ran the upgrade adviser tool and it flagged my current 4.0 system because I have a remote SQL server. I get the warning, "Non-Sophos databases have been added to the SOPHOS instance. Applications relying on these databases may stop working after the upgrade." Of course there are other databases, it's an SQL Server. Will this warning affect me and will my other DB's really encounter problems if I were to continue? I had a heck of a time getting the 4.0 db to load on a real SQL Server.

  • Hi,

    Does the SOPHOS instance have other DBs in it ?

    Are you using the default instance ?

    e.g. if the instance is called SOPHOS, and you use another program such as backupexec and their files are in the SOPHOS instance, and we upgrade the instance itself (from say MSDE to 2005/2008), then backupexec may not work.  We cannot tell if the other program will still work, so the upgrade advisor has to say that..
