SCOM Zombie PSA#13: Zombie Instructions: Installing SQL 2008 R2

 

• I am not a SQL expert, but this the process that I used to establish my Operations Manager 2012 Beta.
• Launch the setup.exe as administrator
• I always like to do checks first to verify that I do not run into problems during the installations so on the SQL Server Installation Center click on Tools & run the System Configurations Checker. If you failed any of the requirements, take care of them now & then come back.
• Installation select New installation or add features to an existing installation.
• The system will first validate the installation process. If you have any errors, correct them first before moving on

• The next screen that will appear is the Product Key. Apply the key and move on.
• Once you decide accept and agree to the License Terms and select Next to move on.
• On the Support File window select the Install button. The setup will install the Setup Support Files. The window may disappear for a second or two

• The warning that I get is because the firewall is turned on. However Since I’ve applied my firewall settings via my Domain Policy, I should be good.

• I have select SQL Server Feature Installation for Operations Manager 2012.

• I am choosing everything for now. I did change the default location since I do not want this installed on my C drive.

• Everything passed or skipped. verify that everything is correct, resolve any errors and then re-run the test.

• I changed the directory once again, and placed it somewhere else other than the C Drive.

• Disk Space validated

• Established NT Authority/Network Service as a default right now.

• I ended up adding my user account to the administrators.

• I’ve added my action and sdk service & my user account.

• Default configurations for the Reporting services

• Next

• Installation Configuration Rules verifications. Again, correct any issues.

• Ready to Install now, the only thing that I was not able  to modify was this part since I do not want anything installed on the C Drive. But no option for me to modify this.

• SQL Server is not being installed.

• & Done
