• It's used to Attach, Detach and Reattach the ProServe 2012 Databases to the host SQL Server Instance.
• It also is used to Rebuild ProServe 2012 log files.
• For Networks, it's used to setup Clients for access to the shared ProServe 2012 application on the server.

Important: The SetConFig must "Run as Administrator" in order to attach the ProServe 2012 databases for the 1st time..
