Setup
This task requires little setup. All you need is access to a copy of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise
Edition and a computer that meets the requirements to run it.
Caveat
It seems redundant, but SQL Server 2005 runs better on faster hardware. So, remember that
the minimum requirements listed later in this task are just that, minimum. If you have access
to a faster machine with more random access memory (RAM), use it.
Procedure
In this task, you will verify that your computer meets the requirements for running SQL Server
2005 and then install the default instance.
Equipment Used
Although several editions of SQL Server 2005 exist, you will be working with the Enterprise Edi-
tion in this book because it has the widest range of available features. You can download a 180-
day trial copy of Enterprise Edition from the Microsoft website (
http://www.microsoft.com/
sql
). You will also need access to a machine that meets the prerequisites for Enterprise Edition.
Details
First, you must make certain your server meets the requirements for installing SQL Server
2005. Table 1.1 lists the prerequisites for installing the Standard, Developer, and Enterprise
Editions.
