Configure Azure SQL

  1. Make sure that you have a valid Microsoft Azure SQL subscription to be able to create your database.
  2. Follow the steps in Create a data source. On Step 4, after having configured the connection settings but before testing the server or otherwise verifying the connection, continue with the steps below.
  3. Select the Upgrade tab and click the Create Database button. If the database is already created on the Microsoft Azure SQL Server, click the Update Database button to add the appropriate tables to the database.

  4. Once the database is created, create an administrator account for the database via the Administration – User Management menu.

If the database is created using a system administrator (example: SA), we recommend to keep this user only for the database creation and the database upgrade. A Remote Desktop Manager administrator account must be created first. Then, regular users are created with this administrator account.
