Installation .NET FrameWork 3.5 SP1 feature (Application Server Role) SQL Server requires have the .NET FrameWork 3.5 SP1 to be installed. Before starting the SQL Server

installation first install the Application Server Role with .NET FrameWork 3.5.1

1. Login with a local administrator (DI\SQL03Admin on the SQL03 server

2. Start the Windows Server Manager

3. Select the Roles node and click Add Roles:

4. Select the Application Server Role:

5. When the Add features required for Application Server appears select Add Required Features:

6. Click Next on the Select Server Roles Window:

7. Click Next on the Application Server window

8. Select .NET Framework 3.5.1 and click Next on the Select Role Services Window

9. Click Install on the Confirm Installation Selections window:

10. Wait for the installation to finish and click Close:

Installing SQL Server “Denali” CTP3 This chapter describes the basic installation of SQL Server Denali CTP3 on a Single server

environment. All features will be installed because this will be my play ground environment.

1. Login with a local administrator (DI\SQL03Admin on the SQL03 server

2. Mount the SQL11FULL_ENU_CTP3.iso or insert the DVD in your server

3. When you did not disable Autorun in you environment the Setup screen will appear, else browse

to the DVD and select setup Run as Administrator:

4. Select Installation on the SQL Server Installation window:

5. Select New SQL Server stand-alone installation or add features to an existing installtion

6. The installation will check the Setup Support Rules, Click Show details to see the checks

executed. Then click OK when no errors did appear.

7. Select Evaluation and click Next on the Product Key window:

8. Select I accept the license terms on the License Terms window.

I also select Send feature usage….. because I’m testing a CTP edition and like to help Microsoft in

there improvement on SQL Server. I will not do this in a production environment. Click Next:

9. Click next on the Setup Support Rules window.

The Microsoft .NET Application Security warning is displayed because my VM does not have

direct Internet Access.

The Windows Firewall warning is about configuring Firewall rules to gain remote access to the

SQL Server applications. See later chapter on how to configure the firewall.

10. Select SQL Server Feature Installation and click Next on the Setup Role window.

SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint will be on an other blog soon…

11. Click Select All on and then click Next on the feature Selection window.

Because this is a test environment I do the Select All, in production I would leave out client tools

and might even spread serveral services over multiple Servers depending on the requirements.

12. Click Next on the Installation Rules window, when no errors did occure.

13. I choose the create a Named Instance MSSQL01 and change the Instance root directory to

E:\MSSQL. This test/play ground server only has 2 disk C & E-Drive installed. Click Next

14. Click Next when the Disk Space Requirements did pass

15. On the Service Accounts tab in Service Configuration add the previous created Domain accounts

to the belonging Service and click the Collation tab.

16. On the collation tab select you desired collation, I kept the default for this environment and click

Next

17. On the Database Engine Configuration Select your desired authentication mode. Then click Add

to add the created domain local security group SQL02DBEAdministrators, click the Data

Directories tab.

18. Select the Root directory for the SQL Server data and set all data paths then click the FILESTREAM

tab.

When this would be a real server installation I will change the default locations as desired for

performance. This is a single server installation with only one attached data disk drive E.

19. On the filestream tab I selected all options and changed the share name to what I like. Then click

next

FILESTREAM is a feature of SQL Server which allows large binary unstructured data like documents and images to be stored directly

into an NTFS file system. FILESTREAM is not a Datatype like Varbinary(max). FILESTREAM is an Attribute or property which can be

enabled on a Varbinary(max) datatype column, which instruct the database engine to store the data directly on the file system.

Unstructred data like documents or images remain as an integral part of the database and maintain a transactional consistency. The

highpoint of this feature is simultaneous performance of the file system as well as maintenance of transactional consistency between

the Structured and Unstructured data.

20. Select your desired Analysis Server mode and click Add to add the SQL03AnalysisAdministrators

domain local security group to the AS administrators role. Click the Data Driectories tab.

You cannot change the SSAS mode you install after installation, when you need to use both then

you need to add another instance of analysis services with the other mode selected.

21. Again in this environment I have a single disk available for my data paths, in production choose

you data location so you get the best performance from you SAN or local disks. Click Next

22. Configuring reporting services will be done after installation, so select Install Only and click Next.

23. On de Distributed Replay Controller click Add and add the SQL03Admin domain account DO NOT

select the SQL03DRCAdministrators group that is listed in the domain groups section. See

Issue_01 why not. Click Next.

24. Give the DRC controller name and set you working & Result directory and click Next

The Microsoft SQL Server Distributed Replay feature helps you assess the impact of future SQL Server upgrades. You can also use it to

help assess the impact of hardware and operating system upgrades, and SQL Server tuning.

25. I select the Send Windows and SQL Server error reports…. In this test/play ground environment

to support Microsoft in the development. I do not select this on production environments. Click

Next.

26. Click Next when all Installation Configuration Rules are passed.

27. Click Install on the Ready to Install window

28. Wait for the installation to finish

29. Click Close when the installation is completed.

This finished the basic installation of SQL Server Denali CTP3.

Keep an eye on this blog to find added configurations to this document.

Issues

Issue_01 Can’t use Domain Local Security group on DRC Administrators During my first installation I used the given domain local security group SQL03DRCAdministrators to

be added to de DRC administrators role. This caused an error in finishing the installation.

I added a connect feedback, because I like to add groups on security roles. When you have the same
