Hi, All needed information is found in this technet article - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb681007.aspxKent Agerlund | http://scug.dk/ | The Danish community for System Center products

Also, why are you doing SP1? SP2 is the current SP and has been out for over a year.Jason | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jsandys | http://blogs.catapultsystems.com/jsandys/default.aspx | Twitter @JasonSandys

In addition to Jason's reply: you have to install SP2 when using server 2008.

Hi, If you want to install SCCM database on the remote server, please make sure: Add the machine account of the primary site server machine to the local Administrators group of the remote SQL Server computer. This is required to allow the site server to install and configure settings later. If the user account running Configuration Manager Setup does not have administrative rights on the remote SQL Server, you must assign the sysadmin SQL Server role to the user account in the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio console on the remote SQL Server computer.

Is SP2 available slipstreamed? When I did our install last month, I was handed SCCM-with-SP1 and a separate installer for SP2.

Yes, it is available from the MVLS site "slipstreamed".Jason | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jsandys | http://blogs.catapultsystems.com/jsandys/default.aspx | Twitter @JasonSandys
