How to Configure Commerce Server on the Business Management Server

  • Article

For the latest version of Commerce Server 2007 Help, see the Microsoft Web site.

This topic provides steps for configuring Commerce Server on the business management server.

Note

Make sure that SQL Server is running before you start the Commerce Server Configuration Wizard. The icon in the SQL Server Enterprise Manager (SQL Server 2000) or SQL Server Management Studio (SQL Server 2005) window displays a green light when SQL Server is running. If it is not running, right-click the computer name, and then click Start.

Specify the user account names that you want Commerce Server to create for the Commerce Server Staging Service and Direct Mailer Service. You should substitute different user names as is appropriate for "CSStageSvc" and "CSDMSvc"" in the following steps.
