1 Installing Autodesk Vault Server 2012 on Small Business Server 2008 Please follow the following steps to ensure a successful installation of the Autodesk Vault Server 2012 on Microsoft Small Business Server Please note that this document covers the most common Microsoft Small Business Server 2008 environment and your specific environment may vary. This document does not cover all possible configurations. Though it is supported, Autodesk does not recommend installing onto Microsoft Small Business Server 2008 due to the complexity of the operating system and that it is a domain controller. It is recommended to use a machine not running Microsoft Small Business Server 2008, if able. **Please note the following information regarding running SQL 2008 on a domain controller From For security reasons, Microsoft recommends that you do not install SQL Server 2008 / 2008 R2 on a domain controller. SQL Server Setup will not block installation on a computer that is a domain controller, but the following limitations apply: On Windows Server 2003, SQL Server services can run under a domain account or a local system account. You cannot run SQL Server services on a domain controller under a local service account or a network service account. After SQL Server is installed on a computer, you cannot change the computer from a domain member to a domain controller. You must uninstall SQL Server before you change the host computer to a domain controller. After SQL Server is installed on a computer, you cannot change the computer from a domain controller to a domain member. You must uninstall SQL Server before you change the host computer to a domain member. SQL Server failover cluster instances are not supported where cluster nodes are domain controllers. SQL Server Setup cannot create security groups or provision SQL Server service accounts on a read-only domain controller. In this scenario, Setup will fail. Rev
