click on “Next” button


Next would be the Feature Selection Dialogue boxThere would be two types of Features

• Database Services• Client Components

You can click on “+” sign to expand a certain category..

If any of the subcomponent for a feature would be unavailable, it would appear to be a gray icon

If all of the subcomponents for a feature would be unavailable, it would appear to be a white icon with a Red color cross ….


Click on “+” sign to expand the each Feature category..

Subcomponents for each category would appear …


Click on the small arrow, appearing on the sub-component iconit would display an option menu for that sub-component …

To include that subcomponent, click on the first option “will be installed on local hard drive”

Choose this option for each Subcomponent, separately clicking on The little arrow against each of it ..


Once all features are made available locally, it would appear to be like this ..

You can click on “Browse” button if you need to change the Installation path But it is recommended that you continue with default …

Click on “Next” button to continue the setup …


Just one step back, you might have noticed that there was an option“Hide advanced configuration options” If you would check that, some of the advance options would not appear during the setup,, but it is recommended to uncheck this and continue the setup …

But it is recommended to keep it Default ..

Note: This dialogue box would only appear If you had uncheck the “Hide advance configuration option“

at Registration Information dialogue box


Next, Service Account dialogue box would appear

As you can See, there are various types of Services AccountsIn the next few slides, I have tried to describe about each of the service type

Note: This dialogue box would only appear If you had uncheck the “Hide advance configuration option“ at Registration Information dialogue box


Service Accounts


Customize the logon for each service account

Select the Customize for each service account check box to customize settings for individual services.This option assigns specific logon accounts to individual services. Click this check box to implement the principle of least privileges, where SQL Server services are granted the minimum permissions they need to complete their tasks.

If this check box is not selected, the same account and settings are used for all SQL Server services.

Select any of the following services to customize its settings.

Select this service To configure authentication settings for

SQL Server The SQL Server Database Engine

SQL Server Agent The service that executes jobs, monitors, SQL Server, and allows automation of administrative tasks.

Analysis Services Analysis Services

Reporting Services Reporting Services. Service accounts are used to configure a report server database connection. Choose a domain user account if you want to connect to a report server database on a remote SQL Server instance. If you are using a local report server database, you can use a domain user account or Local System to run the service.

SQL Server Browser SQL Server Browser is the name resolution service that provides SQL Server connection information to client computers. This service is shared across multiple SQL Server and Integration Services instances.


Service Accounts

Use the built-in System account You can assign Local System, Network Service, or Local Service to the logon for the configurable SQL Server services.

The Local System option specifies a local system account that does not require a password to connect to SQL Server on the same computer. However, the local system account may restrict the SQL Server installation from interacting with other servers, depending on the privileges granted to the account.

The Network Service account is a special, built-in account that is similar to an authenticated user account. The Network Service account has the same level of access to resources and objects as members of the Users group. Services that run as the Network Service account access network resources using the credentials of the computer account.

The Local Service account is a special, built-in account that is similar to an authenticated user account. The Local Service account has the same level of access to resources and objects as members of the Users group. This limited access helps safeguard your system if individual services or processes are compromised. Services that run as the Local Service account access network resources as a null session with no credentials.

Important:

We recommend that you do not use the Network Service account for the SQL Server or the SQL Server Agent services. Local User or Domain User accounts are more appropriate for these SQL Server services.


Service Accounts

Use a domain user account

Specifies a domain user account that uses Windows Authentication to set up and connect to SQL Server. Microsoft recommends using a domain user account with minimal rights for the SQL Server service, as the SQL Server service does not require administrator account privileges.

The SQL Server Agent account must have administrator privileges if you create CmdExec and ActiveScript jobs that belong to someone other than a SQL Server administrator, or if you use the AutoRestart feature. If the above features are requirements in your environment, consider using separate service accounts for the SQL Server and SQL Server Agent services.


Service Accounts

For best practice, it is recommended to choose “Use the Built-in System Account” and “Local Service”

Also check the “SQL Server” and “SQL Browser” services to be started at the end of setup

Click on Next button to continue the setup

In the next step, “Authentication Mode” dialogue box would appear

If you choose “Windows Authentication Mode”, SQL Server Authentication would be only dependent on your Windows Authentication, which means if anyone can login to your window account, He/She can use your SQL Server …

Thus, it is recommended to choosethe “Mixed Mode”, which would alsoinclude the SQL Server’s ownauthentication mode …

The default application administratorfor SQL Server is “sa”, and when youchoose the “Mixed Mode” you arerequired to give a new password for the default administrator account.

click on Next button to continue


Collation Settings dialogue box would only appear if you had unchecked the “hide advance configuration option” at Registration Information dialogue box

Keep this all as default and click Next button to continue the setup …


User Instance dialogue box would only appear if you had unchecked the “hide advance configuration option” at Registration Information dialogue box

If you want to allow the other usersto use the SQL Server, without theadministrative privileges, or to let them connect as a SQL clientfrom a remote machine, you cancheck the “Enable User Instance”checkbox option …

click “Next” to continue the setup


Next would be the “Error and Usage Report Settings” …This is an optional part where you can check if you want to sent the report to Microsoft, if anything goes wrong with the product during the usage …click on Next button to continue..


Once the setup has collected the necessary informationit is now ready to begin the installation

click on “Install” button


Next the Setup Process would be doing some component configuration …


Once all the components would be configured successfully, it would show green checks against each component in the list

click on Next button to continue the setup


Now the setup has almost done the installation process, thus it would now be the last dialogue box for the SQL Server setup

click on Finish button to complete the Installation Process
