Windows Server Requirements:1.

Set the default locale and the current locale of the Windows server to English (United States). 2. Do not use the words backup and update (and other keywords that Microsoft SQL Server uses) as part of the DataCenter server name. If you use these words in the server name, it causes problems when the Data Center software attempts to perform SQL queries. Also, do not use special characters, such as a hyphen (-), in the server name. SQL Server Installation Requirements:1. SQL Server 2008 R2 only. Ensure that the BUILTIN\Administrators group exists with sysadmin permissions.

SQL Server must allow Windows authentication. Create a domain account that has local administrator privileges for SQL Server to run. Ensure that the account is a member of the BUILTIN\Administrators group. Use the same logon account for all SQL Servers in your Data Center. 3. The Data Center server supports only the Default instance of SQL Server. 4. SQL Server 2008 R2 only. On the Feature Selection page, select the following features: a) Database Engine Services. b) SQL Server Replication.

Ensure that the SQL Server service and the SQL Server Agent service run as the same Windows service account. IIS Server Recommendations:1.
