jenken Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Hi guys, I'm just wondering if you happened to Install a TIMEFORCE clock in/out system in your company we have it here in our company but the current IT doesn't have any idea how to do it and our customer support from the TIMEFORCE company already expired any inputs would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 What's wrong? May be some one has some clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenken Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 The problem is no one knows how to install it, I've tried following the installation steps on the manual and on the video but it's different, also I'm trying to install this on a XP machine.

MRGRIM Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I am unable to access the TimeForce website in order to download an installation help as it requies a username and password. Lets start by setting some facts out. By install you mean the desktop software? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenken Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Yes sir, the software itself It also needs SQL for its database Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenken Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 I've managed to install the software now by having the latest version but it doesn't automatically create an SQL database and i don't know how to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 What database software does it want to use? Creating a database and setting up the necessary percussions is reactively easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenken Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 It needs SQL but to be honest i have zero knowledge on it. I'm reading some stuffs in wikipedia right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Any SQL server specifically? MySQL, MsSQL, Oracal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenken Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 win SQL server Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 http://www.microsoft.com/Express/SQL/ install it and go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenken Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 The software comes with a win2005express that's what I'm installing but after the installation there's an error showing. I'm also not sure if the SQL2008 is supported Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 what is the error? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenken Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 The error is "The sa password must meet SQL Server password policy requirements. For strong password guidelines, see Authentication Mode, in SQL Server Books Online" then choices are "Retry or Cancel" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenken Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Forgot to tell that it happens on the setup process of MS SQL SERVER 2005 setup, on configuring components of SQL Server Database Services Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en...e2-722f16e4c56a But really, if you have been asked by the company you work for to set-up this software, you should know how to use google. Make sure you do some basic securing of the SQL server, strong passwords, only have it open the ports on the firewall if it needs it etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenken Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 Yeah I know, it's just that whenever I stumble some issues that I really don't want to do or not interested to do I just get lazy and also as I've told you I have zero knowledge in SQL. I'm trying to install the software in a MS 2008 server in virtual but I can't change the password settings it's just grayed out, I'll try installing it to a XP box later to see if I'll encounter the same problem. Thanks a lot Sparda! I really appreciate your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
