   For example, <Domain name>\SmartIT_Business_New

   USE master
   GO
   use SmartIT
   GO
   CREATE LOGIN [<Domain name>\SmartIT_Business_New] FROM WINDOWS;
   GO
   CREATE USER [<Domain name>\SmartIT_Business_New] from LOGIN [<Domain name>\SmartIT_Business_New]
   GO
   CREATE SCHEMA SmartIT_Business_New AUTHORIZATION [<Domain name>\SmartIT_Business_New]
   GO
   ALTER USER [<Domain name>\SmartIT_Business_New] WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = SmartIT_Business_New
   GO
   GRANT CONNECT,CREATE TABLE,CREATE SCHEMA TO [<Domain name>\SmartIT_Business_New]
   GO

3. On your installation worksheet, write the database name, user, and password.
4. During installation select the Use Pre-created Blank Schemas option.

5. Enter user name as <Domain name>\SmartIT_Business_New (example from Step1) along with the domain password.

   Note

   Enter the same user name in the Business user name and System user name name fields, and the same password in the Business user password and System user password fields.
