Hello,
I've only used Plesk on Linux so the Windows version is new to me (but looks great)...

I have a new client that is using Remote Desktop and the MMC for SQL to build the databases and such for some sites. What is the downside of this versus using the Plesk console? i noticed the databases are not listed in the Plesk console because they were build outside using the MMC. Is that the only problem that I face with them or should I enforce them to use Plesk to build the databases and use the MMC for management?

Thanks in advance...

Wally

 

If you want Plesk to maintain databases you should create them via it.
