Step 2: Install the MS SQL Client on the Application Server.
Advised to Install the MS Client on Mixed Mode (Windows User and SQL user)
After the Installation of the Client, we can check the Database connection from the
Application Server by starting the SQL client and trying to connect the Target Database.
This helps to know that the network is clear and fine.

Step 3: Create a USER in MSSQL Server with “DDL_ADMIN “as the Role.
