Desktop tools for specifying server attributes

To provide information about the servers for your installation in the sql.ini file or a Directory Service, use the dsedit utility. This utility provides a graphical user interface for specifying server attributes such as the server version, name, and security mechanism. For the security mechanism attribute, you can specify one or more object identifiers for the security mechanisms you plan to use. For information about using dsedit, see the Open Client/Server Configuration Guide for Desktop Platforms.
