Therefore, you must have a supported SQL Server client installed on the ArcGIS client computer to connect to the database. In most cases, your ArcGIS clients are installed on a different computer than SQL Server. You may have to copy the keycodes file from the ArcGIS Server machine to a location the Create Enterprise Geodatabase geoprocessing tool can access. Even if you do not run a Python script from an ArcGIS Server machine to create the geodatabase, install and authorize ArcGIS Server to get the keycodes file. You need an ArcGIS Server (enterprise edition) keycodes file to authorize your geodatabase in the next section. If you want to run the Create Enterprise Geodatabase geoprocessing tool instead of a script, install ArcGIS Desktop. You can install ArcGIS Desktop ( Desktop Standard or Desktop Advanced) or ArcGIS Server (enterprise edition) and run a Python script to create a geodatabase. Once you (or the IT department) install SQL Server, be sure you configure the SQL Server instance to accept remote connections by default, remote connections are not enabled.Ĭonsult Microsoft documentation for SQL Server installation and configuration information.Īfter SQL Server is installed and configured, install ArcGIS and SQL Server clients.

You are the SQL Server and geodatabase administrator
