SPGlobalAdmin.CreateConfigDatabase method (String, String, String, String, Boolean, Boolean, String, String)
NOTE: This API is now obsolete.
Use the Create() method of the SPFarm class to create a configuration database instead. (In Windows SharePoint Services 2.0, the CreateConfigDatabase method was used to create a configuration database based on the specified database server, database name, user name, password, account information for Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), and a Boolean value that specifies whether to use the host header as the name for a site, and is maintained for backward compatibility.)
Namespace: Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration
Assembly: Microsoft.SharePoint (in Microsoft.SharePoint.dll)
