ConfigMgr/ SMS]
ConfigMgr does officially support SQL 2008 but depending on whether you are
doing a clean install or upgrade and which version of ConfigMgr you are
using will determine what you need to do:
New Installations
-
Installing ConfigMgr RTM onto a clean installation of
SQL 2008 is NOT supported. In order to achieve this you
need to first install SQL 2005, then upgrade it to SQL 2008 and then
apply
KB955229 “You experience issues in the original release of
System Center Configuration Manager 2007 after you upgrade some site
databases to SQL Server 2008”.
-
Installing ConfigMgr SP1 onto a clean installation of
SQL 2008 is supported but
you'll need to apply
KB955262 “You receive an error message when you click
and then update the Drivers node in the Configuration Manager console of
a Configuration Manager 2007 Service Pack 1 site that uses SQL Server
2008 for the site database”.
Upgrades
-
If you are upgrading an existing ConfigMgr RTM
Database to SQL 2008 you'll need to apply
KB955229 “You experience issues in the original release of
System Center Configuration Manager 2007 after you upgrade some site
databases to SQL Server 2008”.
-
If you are upgrading an existing ConfigMgr SP1
Database to SQL 2008 you'll need to apply
KB955262 “You receive an error message when you click
and then update the Drivers node in the Configuration Manager console of
a Configuration Manager 2007 Service Pack 1 site that uses SQL Server
2008 for the site database”.
