How to Install SQL Server 2005 - Step by Step

A Step by Step guide to installing SQL Serv er 2005 sim ply and successfully with no prior knowledge - By Web Monkey Purpose: To describe how to perform a basic installation of SQL Serv er 2005. Version Inform ation: Although this document addresses SQL Serv er 2005 Dev eloper Edition, the instructions are v ery similar or the same for other editions of SQL Serv er 2005. Im portant Notes: Before installing SQL Serv er 2005, SQL Serv er 2000 databases should be backed up (if they are required), and the SQL Serv er 2000 software should be completely un-installed through the Control Panel, UNLESS there is a technical requirement for it to ex ist on the same machine. Although SQL Serv er 2000 and 2005 can ex ist side by side on the same machine, they hav e to be installed as separate named instances. This document does not attempt to address the details of SQL Serv er named instances if in doubt, consult the DBA for the project for which the installation is being performed. Should a user require SQL Serv er 2000 AFTER SQL Serv er 2005 has been installed, it can be installed as a separate named instance, howev er a check should be made to ensure that any critical applications that require SQL Serv er 2000 are capable of supporting named instances not all are. 1 . Insert the DV D into the DV D driv e and double-click on the icon:

IMPORT ANT NOT E If the Default instance radio button is disabled, this probably means that there is another, default instance of SQL Serv er 2000 or SQL Serv er 2005 already installed on this machine.

The first step will change the Windows account under which the SQL Serv er serv ice ex ecutes to the Local Sy stem account. In a production env ironment or certain dev elopment env ironments, it may be desirable to change this to a domain user account, but this is not usually necessary for local dev eloper installations. Note that the serv ice account settings can be changed through the Serv ices applet in the Control Panel at any point after installation, howev er SQL Serv er will require re-starting in order for these changes to take effect. Click on Nex t. 1 4. Change Authentication Mode to Mix ed Mode and set a password for the sa logon. The users NT logon name could be used as an initial password, but note that whatev er is used, it should NOT be the same for each machine as the sa account giv es sy sadmin priv ileges to any user who uses it:
