Recommendations for geodatabases in SQL Server

Security SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode | Enabled |

Configuring the geodatabase in ArcSDE
The DBMS used for the geodatabase should be configured before the product library is set up with the default geometry storage. See Geodatabase storage in relational databases or The SERVER_CONFIG system table for more information.
All default serverconfig settings should be used, except for TCPKEEPALIVE; make sure the TCPKEEPALIVE value is set to TRUE. This command should be used from the command prompt of a machine where the ArcSDE application server is installed.
Note:Copying and pasting the example may cause syntax errors.
sdeconfig -o alter -v TCPKEEPALIVE=TRUE -i sde:sqlserver:<database_name>\SQLSERVER -u sde -p <sde_password>
For more information, see the ArcSDE Administration Command Reference, which is included with the ArcSDE application server installation.
