In this step, we will create the two database schemas required by the Tridion Content Manager.

Download and install MSXML 4 SP3
Locate the Tridion Database Manager (under [Tridion_Install]\Database) and launch this tool.
Click on New Database.
Select the default options of "Content Manager" and click Next
Since we're installing on the same server, you can leave the default values on this screen. Click Next
Enter the password you used for the SA user.
Enter a password for the TCMDBUser
Enter a password for the TCMLogDBUser
Enter the MTSUser accound information. If this account does not yet exist or the information is incorrect you will receive a warning message. Make sure the Domain field has the current machine name. Click Next.
Enter the SYSTEM account to use. Typically you will NOT change this value.
Enter the details of the "Tridion Administrator" account. This will default to the user currently executing the installation.
Select the location of the log file generated by this tool.
Wait for the completion of the database creation.
Select File -> Exit, and close the Database Manager
You have now created the Tridion Content Manager database schemas. The next step will guide you through the installation of the Content Manager software.
