Hello,
thanks for this Step-by-Step Guide. I want to install the SCCM2012RC2 on an existing SQL-Server. Is this not possible? Is it only possible to install the RC2 on a SQL-Express Edition and not on a "normal" SQL-Server?
Best Regards
Karl
you can install sccm 2012 Rc2 on existing SQL server but SQL server should meet the requirements what sccm 2012 Needs.
Please refer this for more information : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682077.aspx#BKMK_SupConfigSQLSrvReq and

and ofcource you can follow my blog what are the requirements for SCCM 2012 RC2 SQL server.
Hey Eswar,
I have been following your blog. Kudos for the great content. I had a lot of issues downloading all the SC 2012 products therefore thought I should share this with you as well.
I have collated all the download paths at one location for most of the products that I am using. You can use it off this link:
