System Centre Configuration Install

[awade]

Can anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong here. I'm trying to install MSCCM on a new 2012 server VM. I've installed sql 2012 no errors. I run the SCCM prerequisite checks which return no errors. I start the SCCM v2007 SP2 install and choose simple settings I get Fatal Error "SQL Server must be installed on this computer in order to use the simple settings"!! So I try custom settings instead. I get to the Settings summary and when the settings are evaluated it comes back with "You have indicated that SQL server server5 is version 2005, but setup has detected that it is actually version 11.0!! So I tried installing another instance of sql2012 - no change.

 

Many thanks,

 

Andy

Is sql 2012 supported with sccm 2007? Why not use sccm 2012?

I'm almost certain it isn't supported... Use SCCM 2012! It's lightyears ahead of 2007, and with a few tweaks in your mind for some changed things (like collections) you'll pick it up straight away.

You can't use SQL 2012 with SCCM 2007 SP2 unless you upgrade from SQL 2008 or 2008 R2.

But as the others have said you would be much better off with SCCM 2012.

Like everyone else has said... use SCCM 2012 R2... So much better.

2012 is almost a different product from 2007, it's such an improvement.
