Guide on installing Full SQL2005 and SIMS

[mrforgetful]

I've been searching and have found a brief guide on how to install SIMS on a new server.

Anyway, it's very brief and wondered if there was an in depth walkthrough anywhere?

I'm not messing with changing anything so please no 'go to SQL 2008' posts

Make sure you have the latest SIMSinst (SIMS Version Information - Capita Children's Services), install SQL 2005 first. Take loads of backups before you start. Make sure DMS works once if you've finished. Don't forget B2B. Ask your LA\local sims team for help first.
