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!

Installation of MSQL2008 on

MicrosoftServer2012.

In the script sql4sap and the pdf documents, MS2012 is supported version for mssql2008. Though in PAM it is not supported.

Install NET-Framework as a pre-requisite in the windows powershell as Administrator

>Intall-WindowsFeature NET-Framework-Core

use script to install the database.

MicrosoftServer2012R2

If you do with setup.exe, mssql08 is installed but the options are not OK eg Collation.  SAP does not get installed or import hangs etc. etc.

Edit the script sql4sap.vbs, find and replace all Windows2012 with WindowsNT6.3

Always use the modified script sql4sap in this case.
