    Hi,

    please excuse this question: is there no ODBC configuration anymore on SCCM Site Server like it was in former versions? And if: how's the connectio to SQL DB handled with SCCM 2007?

    Thanks in advance for any reply.

    Hi,

    No, you don't need to manually configure any ODBC connection when configuring SQL and ConfigMgr.

    Hi Kent,

    so that means that there's no chance to change the SQL Server communication port if needed?

    Regards

    There is a system DSN set up for communication between the SMS Provider and the SQL Server; however, port numbers for SQL server are discoverable by SQL clients using the SQL browser service on the SQL server: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165724(SQL.90).aspx.
