Register Server Dialog Box

Use this page to manage your registered servers.

To access this page, in Object Explorer, right-click a connected server and then click Register.

  • Server name

    Enter an optional description of the server. The maximum number of characters allowed is 250.

  • Select a server group
    Select the server group where you want to save the server registration.

  • New Group
    Click to launch the New Group dialog box, where you can create a new server group for the registered server.

  • Save
    Click to save the information you have entered and create a registered server.
