Hello All,

I am attempting to setup SQL Server 2014 and SCCM 2012 R2 but I keep running into an error stating that "Configuration Manager requires Microsoft SQL Server 2008 SP2 w/ CU9........ all the way up to Microsoft SQL Server 2012 with CU2 or higher." I am using all evaluation versions for this configuration as we are looking to test and evaluate the products. I was trying it with SQL 2014 because I was running into the same error with SQL 2012 and according to "http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2015/03/30/updated-sc2012-configmgr-sp1-and-sc2012r2-configmgr-support-sql-server-2014.aspx" SQL 2014 is supported with SCCM 2012 R2. SQL is installed locally on the same box. 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Tucker

Update: When running the Pre-Req check these are some of the failed returns.....

SQL Server Edition: Failed: Configuration Manager primary site and central administration site don't support SQL Server Express Edition

Not sure why it is recognizing SQL Express as this is a new machine.

SQL Server service running account: Failed: The logon account for the SQL Server service cannot be a local user account, NT SERVICE\<sql service name> or LOCAL SERVICE.  You must configure the SQL Server service to use a valid domain account, NETWORK SERVICE, or LOCAL SYSTEM.

For the SQL Service I am using a domain account created specifically for this.

Have you seen http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/3020755?

Thanks for the suggestion Torsten. I am not moving or restoring a DB though. This is all a fresh install. I will give it a try though.

Same results after trying this...

This has nothing to do with moving or restoring. The kb article says "This hotfix provides updated versions of the setup files and enables new installations of the System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager site database role and the System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1 site database role in Microsoft SQL Server 2014"
