by Ronni Pedersen

The current supported configuration of SQL Server for System Center 2012 Configuration Manager (SCCM), is Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 and Cumulative Update 4. I always use unattended installation of SQL (and anything else if possible). Here are the command lines I uses to setup SQL for ConfigMgr 2012:

SQL Server 2008 R2 RTM Setup:

setup.exe /q /ACTION=Install /ERRORREPORTING="False" /FEATURES=SQLENGINE,RS,AS,IS,SSMS,TOOLS,BIDS,ADV_SSMS,CONN /INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER /INSTANCEDIR=D:MSSQL /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYSystem" /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTINADMINISTRATORS" More >

PowerShell 2.0 is installed by default in Windows Server 2008 R2. However, the PowerShell ISE is not… Turns out that the ISE is not installed by default and needs to be added as a Feature.

This is different to a manual install of PowerShell 2 on Windows 2008 (or 2003) where the ISE is included as part of the Windows Management Framework Install.

You can get this feature installed via the following PowerShell commands:

Import-Module ServerManager Add-Windowsfeature PowerShell-ISE

Set objDSE = GetObject("LDAP://rootDSE")

strDN = "OU=Domain Controllers," & objDSE.Get("defaultNamingContext")

Set objContainer = GetObject("LDAP://" & strDN)
