Hi there
i am trying to automate sql 2012 installation and i dont want to install sql2012 and sp1 separately. I want it in 1 install file.
I am trying to slipstream sql2012 and sp1 installation similar to sql2008r2and sp2 http://blogs.msdn.com/b/petersad/archive/2011/07/13/how-to-slipstream-sql-server-2008-r2-and-a-sql-server-2008-r2-service-pack-1-sp1.aspx
Is there any way we can do this in sql 2012? or does MS release installer which has sql2012 with sp1 in it?
Danny

Sorry, I cannot answer your question. But I can say that you definitely do NOT want to stay on the initially-released SP1. There was a VERY nasty bug with that and Microsoft issued a MANDATORY patch for that build.

Holy shades of 2000 sp3 Batman!

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

Not sure, but I think 2005 SP2 might have 2000 SP3 beat for the "WOW, how badly can you FUBAR a patch?!?" award. :w00t:

I know the current release in TechNet (which I am still fuming about MS's decision to kill off BTW) has sp1 integrated into it.

Alternatively, if you're looking at automating an install, have you looked at SQL Finebuild? I am currently researching it and it seems pretty intriguing. Additionally I think that Finebuild's creator is an SSC forum member.
