  4. When the login for the CES administrative account already exists, double-click it. Otherwise, right-click Logins, and then click New Login.

  5. In the SQL Server Login Properties - New Login dialog box: 

    1. In the Login Name box, type the CES administrative account.

    2. Click the Database Access tab.
