Many people are so excited to start working with their new software
that they just start installing it without verifying they meet the prerequisites; you may have
even done this yourself in the past.

To ensure a successful installation of SQL Server 2005, though, you need to make sure
you have the right hardware and software in place first; otherwise, you will end up with a
mess. Once you have installed SQL Server 2005, you then need to configure it before you can
let your users start working with it. The tasks in this phase will show you how to successfully
install and configure SQL Server 2005.

Task 1.1: Verifying Prerequisites and
Installing the Default Instance

In this task, you will verify that your machine meets the prerequisites for installing SQL Server
2005, and then you will install the default instance.

Scenario

You are the database administrator (DBA) for a midsize company with offices in various cit-
ies throughout the United States and Canada. The company has decided to use SQL Server
2005 for data storage and retrieval, and you have been asked to install the software and get
it running.
As an experienced DBA, you understand the importance of installing the software right the
first time, because if you install SQL Server incorrectly or on the wrong hardware, it will work
slowly or not at all. Therefore, you have decided to verify the prerequisites and then install the
software.

Scope of Task

Duration

This task should take less than one hour.
