Support for running an attachment DB on a dedicated, standalone attachment server.

This would be nice for very large companies, or really for any company, to help squeeze out every last bit of performance from the main User DB.

    You can as far as I'm aware. On the viewpoint server, open up the program "Configure Viewpoint Remote Service". Change the Document Database to what ever you want, then in Vista go to DM Attachment Options and click Update Attachments. Or you might need to change it to File System, then back to database.

    I would take a full backup prior to doing this, as I'm assuming these are the required steps to change it.

    Also, as far as I'm aware this would also change the required steps to update the software as you may need to do everything on both servers.
