    Hello,

    I would like to ask if someone knows the approximate size of a FULL SQL SERVER 2012 Enterprise installation including ALL components (Full text search, DQS, client tools, books online, integration services, BI tools, etc)

    The link below states 6 GB Minimum, but I'm looking for Maximum space needed.

    (corrected wrong link) :w00t:

    Thanks for the help.

    Thanks Lowell for pointing that out, when adding up the components it comes out to under 5GB

    But in the link

    In the "Hard Disk" section it mentions:

    SQL Server 2012 requires a minimum of 6 GB of available hard-disk space. (then refers to the section you indicated)

    I feel as though there must be something missing? Over 1GB is a lot of additional space. What do you think?

    Ah that's what I was missing! I was not considering those factors.

    Thanks everyone
