Installing Sql Server 2012 Enterprise edition on Windows 7

Hello,
I have a desktop with 1 TB Hard Disk and 8GB RAM. It has Windows 7 installed. I want this to be used as staging server at my work. I installed the SQL Server 2012 Enterprise edition. While installing I used service accounts as default when prompted
which I normally do while installing on a desktop. But now I want this to be used as a server where people can access this box as they do on a sql server machine .i.e. connect to server using SSMS and get to databases on the server and also remote
desktop into this machine. So, Is it fine to install with default service accounts?
Also how can I connect to this newly installed sql server box from another desktop using SSMS?
Thank You.

Hello,
Installation of SQL server 2012 Enterprise edition on Client machine(Win 7) is not supported( you can install ) .See below for Hardware and Software requirements for SQL Server 2012.You cannot claim support from Microsoft and I guess statging
is also important.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx
Now to your main question.To connect
Makes sure Browser service is running
Make sure you make exception in firewall for SQL Server services and incoming connections
Make sure you specify correct instance name when connecting from remote

Is it possible to install sql server 2008 standard edition in windows server 2008 enterprise edition?

hi,
Please help me..
is it possible to install sql server 2008 standard edition in windows server 2008 enterprise edition?
will any problem arise?

Hiya,
Yes it it possible. No there will not be any problems.
Short and simple :)

Is it possible to install SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition on a Windows Server 2012 Standard Which is installed on a Virtual Machine that is created by Hyper-V?

Hi
I have recently bought a Virtual Machine from a data center and installed a Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition on it. As I tried to install the SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition, the data center administrator denied me to do this telling me it is not possible
to install any licensed Microsoft software on a Windows installed on virtual machine created by Hyper-V. It was really strange for me! I wanna know if this is true.
Thanks Everybody

Hi Farid,
For SQL server running on virtual server please refer to following article :
http://blogs.technet.com/b/peeyusht/archive/2010/03/19/sql-licensing-under-virtualization.aspx
In addition , for license issue we still recommend you to contact MS Activation Center:

Installing SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition or wait for SP2?

Hi everyone,
I just received my copy of SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition I ordered. As usual, before installing, I searched the web for any hint or other stuff on the subject.
I first found that SP1 was already available. Honestly I prefer installing using the last version available instead of upgrading. I found the SP1 install package using the following web address:
http://www.microsoft.com/fr-ca/download/details.aspx?id=35575
Is this the right install package to use?
Now, still reading everything I could find on that SP1, I found stories about major issues with SP1.
Two examples I remember:
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/770630
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2793634/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0
Two others (not specifically related to SP1):
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlsetupandupgrade/thread/a0da3372-ab3d-4af0-b4c4-0d47163e0e03/
http://www.sqlperformance.com/2012/11/system-configuration/2012-cal-problems
My question. Should I wait for SP2? If so, any target date when it should be available?
If not, what would you recommend as the logic install sequence? Should I look for any cumulative update(s)? Any other "manual settings" I should consider?
Finally, can someone guide me regarding what options I should choose while installing. My main goal is to program/build C++, C# applications using VS2010 that will interface with SQL Server for data storage purposes (add/update/delete,
batch update/delete) and reports.
Hope to hear from someone.
Stephane
BTW: My current setup is the following:
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU [email protected]
3.00 Go
Vista Ultimate SP2 32bits
Visual Studio 2010 Professional Edition (which will be upgraded to last SP once installed)

Hi again,
I proceeded with download of CU7. On Microsoft's webpage, there are several files we can download:
2012_SP1_DAC_CU7_2894115_11_0_3393_x86
2012_SP1_AOrcleDes_CU7_2894115_11_0_3393_x86
2012_SP1_AOrcleSer_CU7_2894115_11_0_3393_x86
2012_SP1_PPExcel_CU7_2894115_11_0_3393_x86
SQLServer2012_SP1_CU7_2894115_11_0_3393_x86
Which one I should choose?
Also, some people reported having problems installing this update.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlreleaseservices/archive/2013/11/19/cumulative-update-7-for-sql-server-2012-sp1.aspx

Error Installing SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB on Windows 8.1 64-bit

TriSys Business Software

Hello,
Did you install .NET Framework 4.0 or enable .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 on Windows 8.1 which is requirement for SQL Server 2012?
SQL Server installs .NET 4.0 during the feature installation step. But if you are installing the SQL Server Express editions, ensure that an Internet connection is available on the computer. SQL Server Setup downloads and installs the .NET Framework 4
because it is not included in the SQL Server Express media.
In you case, please try to download and install
.NET Framework 4.0 or
.NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and then run the SQL Server setup.exe again.

Hi,
Check if SQL Server service is running fine. I doubt you may have changed the user account password used for SQL Server service. After restarting the machine, you also need to update the user account of SQL Server service in Configuration
Manager. Re-type the user account name and password under Log on tab and see how it helps.
Thanks.

Issue installing SQL Server 2012(with SP1) on windows 7 Error result: -2067529718

When running the installation, it suddenly stops without any error popup.
I ran the installation from the command prompt and this is what I get:
An error occurred during the SQL Server 2012 Setup operation.
Error result: -2067529718
Result facility code: 1220
Result error code: 10
I recently uninstalled SQL Server 2012 SP1, because the SQL server service was not starting up, it would just hang in there with no response. I tried many things to get that issue fixed, finally I decided to uninstall and start fresh but I couldn't since
I was getting an error stating that I needed Windows 7 SP1(which was already installed). I downloaded the
microsoft fix it tool which fixed the issue.
On the control panel/Programs and features, I still see that SQL Server 2012 is listed if I click to uninstall again it tells me:
An error occurred while trying to uninstall Microsoft SQL Server 2012. it may have already been uninstalled. do you want to remove Microsoft SQL Server 2012 from the Programs and features list?
if I click yes, eventually it will be listed again.
currently I'm not able to install SQL server again and besides the info provided there are not error messages (I also copied the installation files to disk).
UPDATE: it appears that the sql server was not completely removed from the system, I still see listed the SQL server(SQLExpress) and server browser services on the SQL server configuration manager.
Thanks.

1) First Reboot your server and try again for the installation.
2) If first fail again than Take a backup of Registry first for safe side and then delete the entries of SQL server 2012 if found take a reboot again and try to install again.
One more thing if installation created any file then move/Delete that also before installation.

On sharepoint2013 upgrade Sql2008 Express edition databse to SQL server 2012 enterprise

Hi,
I have a sharePoint 2013 installed as standalone with sql server express edition 2008.Now my database size as increased more that 10GB.I have installed SQL server 2012 enterprise edition on other server.I want to know how do I make this standalone installation
as farm installation so that the sharePoint installation can take advantage of sql server 2012 enterprise edition ?
Or
Do I need to take backup and reinstall to share point as farm solution?

You need to install & Configure new SharePoint farm, then Move the Content DB to new farm/new SQL server.
Install the SharePoint 2013, Configure it
Create & Configure any Services Application
Create the Web Application
Backup the Content DB from Express & restore it to SQL Server 2012.
Attach it to the Web Application.
Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog
