Set-IpamDatabase
Set-IpamDatabase
Modifies settings that IPAM uses to connect to the IPAM database.
Syntax
Parameter Set: SetDatabaseConfig0
Set-IpamDatabase [-DatabaseServer] <String> [-DatabaseName] <String> [-DatabasePort] <UInt16> -DatabaseAuthType <AuthType> [-AsJob] [-CimSession <CimSession[]> ] [-DatabaseCredential <PSCredential> ] [-Force] [-PassThru] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32> ] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]
Detailed Description
The Set-IpamDatabase cmdlet modifies settings that IP Address Management (IPAM) uses to connect to the IPAM database hosted on a computer that runs Microsoft SQL Server.
Verify that you can reach the database server from the IPAM server. Specify whether to connect to the destination server by using the account for the computer that hosts the IPAM server or by using a SQL Server database account. If you specify the IPAM server account, verify that account has necessary permissions.
Use the Get-IpamDatabase cmdlet to view database configuration settings.
You can specify any port to connect to the database server. We recommend you use the default port, 1433, to connect to Microsoft SQL Server.

Examples
Example 1: Connect to an external database
This example configures the IPAM server to connect to an external database. The cmdlet does not move any data from the existing WID database or create the new database. Configure all access settings manually on the database server. The example uses Windows as the database authentication type.
The first command command uses the Get-IpamDatabase cmdlet to display the configuration settings of the database.
PS C:\> Get-IpamDatabase
The second command sets the database configuration. The command includes the database name and database server name. The cmdlet prompts you before it continues.
PS C:\> Set-IpamDatabase -DatabaseServer "ContosoDB04" -DatabaseName "IpamData01" -DatabasePort 1433 -DatabaseAuthType Windows
The last command repeats the first command, displaying the revised configuration information.
PS C:\> Get-IpamDatabase
