When you have changed the IP address on the SQL Server make sure to run the Configuration Wizard on the main Orion server and on each deployed additional polling engine to update SQL Server connection details.

Note: During any install or future updates of your SolarWinds products, SolarWinds recommends that you log in to your Orion systems with the local Administrator account (do not use a Domain Admin account) to avoid GPOs and any other potential permission issues.
