Installation Error on 2012 Server

  • Hello

    While installing SQL Server 2012 on windows10 OS with Standalone feature.

    While continuing with the successive steps and struck with error at Server Setup Files WINDOWS FIREWALL has been enabled.

    The Windows Firewall is enabled. Make sure the Appropriate Ports are open to enable

    When further invoked found the solution with this Link but was not opening and there is an attachment with ROBOTS.txt file, through the following link.

    http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkId=94001 for information about ports to open each feature.

    Could anyone please advise me should it be necessary to have WINDOWS FIREWALL - warning be ignored, OR how to accept this feature be successful.

    Thanks in advance.

  • You need to ensure that you set the Windows firewall to allow the sqlserver.exe process or open up the port that SQL uses.

    If your installing a default instance, the port is 1433 unless you change it after install.

    For a named instance, you need UDP 1434 for the browser service, the dynamic port should auto resolve over UDP1434, but if not you may also have to open the dynamic port range or set the named instance to a static port.

    Or just disable the windows firewall, depends on your corporate security policy. It may have to be on.

  • Thanks for the solution though I have removed Windows Firewall still getting the same error.

    Any suggestions please.

  • Is it an error or a warning?

    You should just be able to skip past it as it should be a warning, as its there as a reminder to sort out the firewall after installation

  • Yes it is warning!

    Should I proceed installation what should I check after Installation.

    Will I deprived any further obstruction as the error say it should allow PORTS for the oncoming through Internet.

    Suggest thanks

  • Warning can be skipped, errors cannot.

    Your installing SQL on a server edition that has Windows Firewall, it is warning you that you must change the firewall settings in order to allow SQL to communicate on the network.

    As you have already "removed" the firewall there is nothing for you to do after installation.

    Just skip past the warning
