In this lecture, we are going to download and install SQL 2016. This is a prerequisite for the System Center Configuration
Manager installation.

Open your web browser and navigate to Microsoft.com/evalcenter/try. Search for SQL 2016 and once you find it go
ahead and register and download the installer.

Once the download completes, launch the installation. Choose Custom as your installation type and then click Install.

This will download the files for SQL installation. Once the download finishes you will be presented with the SQL Server
Installation Center. Click the Installation tab on the left side of the window and then select New SQL Server stand-alone
installation…

If you have a license key, you may enter that now, otherwise leave the default evaluation option selected and click Next.
You will likely see a Firewall warning but you may disregard this for now.

Click Next until you get to the Install Rules window where you will see the prerequisite checks.

You will see a warning for the Windows Firewall. This is because the SQL ports on our firewall have not been opened to
allow services outside of this computer to access SQL server. Since our SQL server installation is on the same VM that
our SCCM installation will be on, we can disregard this warning. Click Next.

Check the Database Engine Services and Reporting Services – Native checkboxes and click Next until you get to the
Server Configuration screen.

On the Server Configuration you may select specific user accounts for things like the SQL Server Agent or you can just
leave them at the default configuration. We will use the default accounts and click Next.

Click the Add Current User on the Database Engine Configuration screen and add any additional administrator accounts
that you want to have access to the SQL engine.

Click Next until you reach the Ready to Install screen and then click Install.

When the installation completes you can click the Close button to finish the installation.

Now that SQL Server is installed we need to install the SQL Server Manager Studio. In previous versions it was included
with SQL Server but that is no longer the case. Click here to open the download page and then click the Download SQL
Server Management Studio. Your version will likely be different but that will not be an issue.

When the download completes launch the installation and click Install.

The installation will begin and can take quite a while. Once the installation is complete, a reboot may be required. Click
the Restart button to reboot your machine.

Once the reboot completes log back into the server and launch the SQL Server Management Studio.

Click the Connect button and verify that the SQL was installed successfully and you can log in.

Once you log in you will see a series of folders on the left-hand side of the screen. There is nothing you need to do
except verify that these folders exist.

That is all you need to do in this lecture! Great job and I look forward to seeing you in the next lecture.
