Set the Server and connection string
The web.config appSetting entry serverString contains the database server instance name, so this needs to be adapted in the web-config.
(If the version of Aligned Elements being installed is older than V3.0, the same database server instance name also has to be updated in the connectionStrings section for ElementsSessions).

Note: If the Aligned Elements windows-client is also used in the organisation, the SQL server name must match the SQL Server name used in the Aligned Elements windows client. This can be hard if a named instance is used for the sql server database. It is recommended to use a default instance instead (i.e. without \SQLEXPRESS). An alternative is to manually set static ports for a named instance (see https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/124598-find-the-port-sql-server-is-using-and-change-a-dynamic-port-to-static ) and omit the instance name when connecting.
