SQL Server Installation Preparation: Creating Windows Firewall Rules, Logical Disks, Installing .NET Framework 3.5, and Creating Service Accounts.
Create Windows Firewall rules for SQL
1. Log in to your SQL server. Høyre museknapp Klikk på Start button and select Kontrollpanel;
2. Åpen Windows brannmur;

11. Repeat, enter the rule name, for eksempel, SQL TCP, and click the Bli ferdig knapp;
12. Check created tules;
Create logical disks
Create logical disks. Early I create og connect to my SQL VM two “Virtual Disks". I dette innlegget, we initialize them and create “Logical disks” in the system.
1. Høyre museknapp on the “Start” button and select “Disk Management";
2. First of all change the “CD-ROM” drive letter from “D” to “R". Høyre museknapp click on CD-ROM and select Change Drive Letter and Paths;
3. Click the Change knapp;
4. Select the drive letter “R” and click the OK knapp;
5. In the pop-up window click the Ja knapp;
6. Click the OK button to apply changes;
7. Høyre museknapp click on the first Disk and select Online;

9. Select option “GPT (GUID Partition Table)” and click “OK"-knappen;
10. Høyre museknapp click on first Disk “Unallocated space” and select “New Simple Volume” (to create new logical disk);
11. Klikk på "Neste"-knappen;
12. Leave size as default and click the “Neste"-knappen;
13. Assign a drive letter, as an example “D” and click the “Neste"-knappen;
14. Set format options:
- File System – leave “NTFS", if you use “ReFS” – you can’t backup it with “DPM” (Data Protection Manager doesn’t understand ReFS);
- Allocation unit size – I set “64K” because I place on disk a few big files;
- Volume label – set the name for your drive. In my case “SCCM-DATA".
Klikk på "Neste"-knappen;
15. Check the summary information and click the “Bli ferdig"-knappen;
16. Repeat for the second disk;
17. Open “This PC” and check newly added “Logical Disks”;
Install Net Framework 3.5
You can install it using CMD or GUI. I dette innlegget, we install “NET Framework 3.5” from GUI.
1. If Server Manager doesn’t start at login – run it. Click on the upper menu “Manage” and select “Add Roles and Features”;
2. Klikk på "Neste"-knappen;
3. Klikk på "Neste"-knappen;
4. Select your target server and click the “Neste"-knappen;
5. Don’t install any roles, click the “Neste"-knappen;
6. Set the check mark on “.NET Framework 3.5 Features” and click the “Neste"-knappen;
7. Klikk på "Installere"-knappen (if you don’t have an internet connection, but insert DVD or *.iso file with operating system installation files – click “Specify an alternate source path” <drive letter>:\sources\sxs);
8. When the installation is complete click the “Lukk"-knappen;
Create Service Accounts
1. For my SQL & SCCM deployment I create folders:
- On disk “D” ("SCCM-DATA") – SCCM and sub-folders (Backup, Data, Logs);
- On disk “E” ("TEMP") – SCCM;
You plan and deploy SQL as you wish or by your “Corporate Policies".
2. Let’s add “Service accounts” for SQL and SCCM deployment. Høyre museknapp click on the “Start” button and select “Computer Management”;
3. Gå til "Groups” and open “Administrators";
4. Klikk på "Legg til"-knappen;
5. First add the SCCM server ("AD Object Computer") account. Neste, add all SQL service accounts and SCCM service accounts (for client installation); After adding click the "OK"-knappen;
6. Also you may enable in “Windows brannmur” rule to allow ping;
7. And enable more rules (se skjermbilde) for successful SCCM deployment.
8. If you don’t do step “7” you may get the next error when installing SCCM;
