&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;NA&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Background:&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;OPenUtilities (OU) Substation requires a connection to a SQL database to store project data. When installing OU Substation SQL Express is installed, but sometimes due to user permissions issues on the local machines, the SQL is not installed with all the user permissions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this document, the user can refer to the steps to install SQL Express with all the minimum permission for using with Substation. steps are provided to install SQL Express 2016 but the user can install any version of SQL Express on the local machine by referring to the compatibility chart details to find the compatible version of SQL Express according to the version of Substation that has been installed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://communities.bentley.com/products/utility_network_analysis___design/w/utility_network_analysis_and_design_wiki/54410/compatibility-chart-openutilities-substation-connect"&gt;communities.bentley.com/.../compatibility-chart-openutilities-substation-connect&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Steps to Accomplish&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Download the SQL Express version compatible with Substation as per the above link. The below link can also be used to directly download and install &lt;strong&gt;MS SQL 2016 Express&lt;/strong&gt; version which will be used as a reference example for the steps to be followed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=56840"&gt;www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Install the downloaded setup and select Custom&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=" " height="363" src="/resized-image/__size/640x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-62/0160.pastedimage1619592868841v1.png" width="459" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Select the Location for installing the SQL Server and select Install.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/720x351/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-62/pastedimage1619593002617v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. After the Download has been completed in SQL Server Installation Center Dialog select &lt;strong&gt;Installation&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;New SQL Server&lt;/strong&gt; ......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=" " height="375" src="/resized-image/__size/720x720/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-62/pastedimage1619593312423v3.png" width="497" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. &lt;strong&gt;Next&lt;/strong&gt; in SQL Server 2016 Setup check&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;I Accept the License terms&lt;/strong&gt; and select &lt;strong&gt;Next&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Select &lt;strong&gt;Next&lt;/strong&gt; until the &lt;strong&gt;Feature Selection&lt;/strong&gt; section and select the &lt;strong&gt;Instance Feature&lt;/strong&gt; as seen in the below image and select &lt;strong&gt;next&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/720x394/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-62/pastedimage1619593673946v4.png" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Now in Instance Configuration provide a name to the SQL Server according to requirement and select Next.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/720x389/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-62/pastedimage1619593895834v5.png" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;8. Now select &lt;strong&gt;Next&lt;/strong&gt; until the &lt;strong&gt;Database Engine Configuration&lt;/strong&gt; section, in there add the current user if not already added as an Administrator by selecting &lt;strong&gt;Add Current User&lt;/strong&gt;. Also, the SA (System Administrator) password can be specified by selecting the &lt;strong&gt;Mixed Mode&lt;/strong&gt; if required by the user and specifying and confirming the SA Password, and select &lt;strong&gt;Next&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/720x378/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-62/pastedimage1619594292371v6.png" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;9. After the installation is completed, Create&amp;nbsp;the Project Database by following the steps in below Wiki Link.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://communities.bentley.com/products/utility_network_analysis___design/w/utility_network_analysis_and_design_wiki/43638/creating-and-updating-the-project-database---substation-ce"&gt;communities.bentley.com/.../creating-and-updating-the-project-database---substation-ce&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-width:0px;" alt=" " height="60" src="/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-components-sitefiles/TSG-Logo.png" width="189" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;table style="background-color:#dce5f0;border:0px solid #dce5f0;" border="0"&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style="text-align:right;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
