Re: Multiple SMS sites with a single CS.ini

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



The BDD 2.5 version of the ZTI script doesn't do this, but a modified
version is available that would enable things like:

[BDDAdminDB]
SQLServer=%MYSQLSERVER%
....

[SMS]
SQLServer=%MYSMSSERVER%
....

You would just need to make sure that the "MYSQLSERVER" or "MYSMSSERVER"
custom keys are populated before the database section is referenced.

If you would like a copy of that modified script, e-mail me directly.
