1 SQL Server 2019 Express Install


• Ensure the server you intend to install SQL Express 2019 has access to the internet. Part of this
installation process requires SQL to download some source files automatically. If you don’t have
internet access, you can run this same installer on another machine that does, but choose the
“Download Media” link in the first screenshot below. You can then transfer the full source files to
your database server and perform the install manually.

2 SQL Server Express Considerations


If you intend to use SQL Server Express to host your Passwordstate database, please consider the following
before installing Passwordstate:

1. If you're using SQL Server Express on a different server to where you installed Passwordstate, please
ensure the TCP/IP Protocol is enabled (use SQL Server Configuration Manager -> SQL Server Network
Configuration), and also the Windows Service 'SQL Server Browser' is set to 'Automatic' Startup Type
and has been started. You will need to restart SQL Server Express after changing these settings

2. By default, SQL Server Express installs with an ‘instance’ name of SQLExpress. When you’re configuring
Passwordstate for first time use, specifically the ‘Database Settings’ page, please ensure you have
specified the name of the instance correctly i.e. HostName\SQLExpress
3. If you intend to also install the High Availability instance of Passwordstate, SQL Server Express can only
be used as the Subscriber for data replication, not the Publisher or Distribution database.

4. By default, SQL Express configures the TCP/IP Protocol to communicate on a dynamic port. If you have
a firewall enabled on your database server, you may need to set a static port in the TCP/IP properties
which will match your firewall rule. Restart the service again after configuring the option in the
screenshot below:

3 SQL Server Memory Size Management


By default, SQL Server is configured to consume all available memory. If you have SQL Server installed on
the same machine as where Passwordstate is installed, it’s recommended you cap the amount of memory
SQL Server uses, as we generally recommend keeping up to 2GB of memory free at all times.
Below is a screenshot of the ‘Properties’ of your SQL Server, where you can modify the memory settings.
The SQL Server Windows Services should be restarted after making any changes here.
