    Hi,

    I am trying to do an installation, but Windows Server 2012 requires that I install SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2. I tried looking online, but couldn't find a SQL Server 2008 R2 with SP2 install ISO. Could someone please help?

    Thank you.

    You have to create a slipstream installation file using SP2.

    Instructions are as follows ..

    Thank you very much!

    I'm stuck on step 6. I can't seem to find the file, DefaultSetup.ini anywhere in the \x86, \x64, and \ia64 folders. Would it be called something else?

    As far as I remember, it should be called DefaultSetup.ini

    Did the previous steps run successfully ..

    If you do NOT have a DefaultSetup.INI, create one as follows :

    ;SQLSERVER2008 R2 Configuration File

    [SQLSERVER2008]

    PCUSOURCE=".\SP"

    in each of those 3 folders

    Hm... I am getting errors...

    I'm trying to install a new failover cluster, but the SQL Server Setup Support Rules fail at:

    -Cluster service verification

    -Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) cluster verification errors

    -Cluster shared disk available check

    I don't think I have created the Windows cluster incorrectly. There are plenty of shared disks available and the cluster is up and running.

    Have you had this issue?

    I found the resolution.

    Cluster Service verification Failed :

    - Install tha feature type in power shell that command add-windowsfeature RSAT-Clustering-AutomationServer

    Must be executed as Administrator.

    Cancel out of Setup and start over.
