Remarks

When Notification Services creates the instance database, it creates the filegroups specified in the instance configuration file (ICF).

At least one filegroup must use the name Primary.

If you need to alter the database after creating the instance, use the SQL Server tools, such as SQL Server Management Studio.

For more information about filegroup names, see the FILEGROUPfilegroup_name description in CREATE DATABASE (Transact-SQL).

Example

This example shows how to specify that the filegroup is the Primary filegroup.

<FileGroupName>Primary</FileGroupName>
