Remote SQL Server and 4.0 -> 4.5 Console Upgrade

Dean_F
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.

    I'm not sure I understand all of this completely (as I have a local SQL database and it's also 95F/35C outside and no A/C ).

    It sounds like the upgrade advisor does not correctly deal with the case of a remote database. I don't think that the upgrade would ever touch/upgrade the remote database server (how could it) so it should be safe to ignore this warning.

    As to the upgrade process: InstallDB.bat installs the new SOPHOS45 database. Then UpgradeDB.exe is called to copy and upgrade the contents of the SOPHOS4 dtatbase to the SOPHOS45 database. In case you have to run this command manually you have to specify the -sourceVersion=4 switch (note that it is case sensitive).
