SUMMARY
During Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2.0 Setup, you receive the option to install Microsoft SQL Server. Installation of SQL Server version 6.5 is accomplished without user interaction. However, if you install SQL Server 7.0, you must complete SQL Server Setup by entering data when prompted, and you must have sufficient SQL Server licenses for the installation.



MORE INFORMATION
During SMS 2.0 installation, Setup prompts you to provide SQL Server configuration information if a current installation of SQL Server is not detected on your computer. When Setup reaches the point where a SQL Server source is needed, you are prompted to insert the CD-ROM or specify a network source.

You must have sufficient licenses to install SQL Server for use with SMS. If SMS was purchased as a part of Microsoft BackOffice, the server licenses were purchased along with the product and the installation of SQL Server and SMS is made easier.

If you purchased SMS separately from SQL Server (not in the Microsoft BackOffice suite), you must install the SQL Server service pack that is on the SMS 2.0 CD-ROM. Setup prompts you when you need to perform this step.

SMS installation is SQL Server version independent. All you need to provide is a licensed copy of SQL Server 6.5 or 7.0.
