On the server, in the extracted server installation package, double-click Setup.exe.
Install Manager opens.
On a workstation, in the extracted workstation installation package, double-click Setup.exe.
Install Manager opens.
Under Installed on the left, select the service that you want to modify:
On the server - Recurring Payments Service, Data Service, Document Unfiled Utility Service, HL7 Application and Services, HermeS1 Service, File Exchange Services, Report Scheduling Service, QuickBill & Insurance Estimator Services, or Dental Encounter Service.
On a workstation - Report Scheduling Service or Document Unfiled Utility Service.
The Setup options appear on the right.
Configure the SQL Server Connection options:
Server Name - The name or IP address of the database server. Also, if the SQL instance that houses your Dentrix Enterprise database has a name, after the IP address or name of the server, include a backslash (\) and then the instance name.
Database Name - Dentrix is the default name of the database, but it may be different if it has been customized for your installation.
Username - The user name of the SQL user with "Sysadmin" rights.
Password - The password of the Sysadmin user.
