9.0 Managing Microsoft SQL Server Endpoints

Secure Configuration Manager lets you audit Microsoft SQL Server databases using the Windows agent to collect data from Microsoft SQL Server endpoints.

The SQL Server endpoint type is essentially a subcomponent of the Windows agent, but has the same registration and management functions as the Windows agent, including both remote and local support. The Windows agent can manage multiple types of SQL Server endpoints. In the console, Secure Configuration Manager organizes the types in two categories, based on the SQL Server version:

  • SQL Server 2000, which includes SQL Server 2000 endpoints

  • MS SQL Server, which includes SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 R2, and SQL Server 2012 endpoints
