Install SQL Server 2008 R2 in Windows Server 2012 using SQL4SAP Script

[former_member229542]

Hi guys,

Since we are performing a SAP System Migration from older releases of Windows/SQL Server, as detailed on SAP Note

1780433 - System copy of SAP systems on Windows 2012 : SQL Server

We need to install SQL Server 2008 R2 before upgrading the system

When running SQL4SAP Script it states the following

17/03/2014 08:13:44 p.m.

----------------------------------------

Message Box "Windows version error"

OS Family "WindowsNT6.3" is not supported by this script.

Result: vbOK

----------------------------------------

On Windows 2012 should i run the SETUP instead the script?

Thanks!

Hello

Can you please note that:

- Use a user with administration rights of your server (do not use sidadm)

- SQL4SAP script does not support cluster

- You cannot use the script to upgrade SQL Server

- Windows Server 2012 supportes: Standard Edition and Datacenter Edition

- For detail prerequisites read http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506(v=sql.110).aspx

Best regards

Thanks guys for the support

I was able to Install SQL 2008 R2 Server by using the setup.exe provided.

Also .NET 3.5 Framework is mandatory

Anyways, I was able to run a 640 System on a Windows 2012/SQL Server 2008R2

Regards!
