  2. In the left pane, right-click the server name and then click Properties.
  3. In the Name field, specify the required SQL Server computer as server_name,port_number.
  4. Click OK to save the change that you have made.
  5. For each customer database, do the following:

    • In the left pane, right-click the name of the database and then click Properties.

    • In the SQL Server field, specify the required SQL Server computer as server_name,port_number.

    • Click OK to save the change that you have made.
