How To Determine Which Computer Is The Server

In order to determine which computer on the network is the server all computers must be checked.

1. Go into the Easy Dental program and into the "Reports" module. In Dentrix go into Office Manager module. Click on the 'Maintenance' icon  and go to 'Preferences'.
2. Click on the 'Paths' tab and look at the "Database Path".
3. If starts with any letter other than "C", it is most likely a workstation. Check the "Database Path" of every computer until you find the one that begins with "C". (For example: if the database path reads, "G:\Data\", it is a workstation and if the path reads, "C:\Program Files\Ezdental\Data\", it would be the Easy Dental server.) If the path reads, "C:\Programs Files\Dentrix\Data\", it would be the Dentrix server.

Note: If none of the computers say "C", you may have more than one hard drive on the server, or even a dedicated server. Call your network technician or Dentrix/Easy Dental Support to help determine the server.
