1. Locate and open the following file on the machine where AdminStudio is installed:
C:\AdminStudio Shared\Shared AdminStudio.ini
2. Insert the following in the [Database Settings] section of the Shared AdminStudio.ini file:

DefaultDatabase=Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;;Initial Catalog=nameofdatabase;Data Source=nameofsqlserver;Integrated Security=SSPI
Note: To connect using Server authentication, you can specify

[Database Settings]

DefaultDatabase=Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;User ID=userid; PWD=password;Initial Catalog=nameofdatabase;Data Source=nameofsqlserver;
