Hello,
I created an installation image using "PrepareImage" installation option as described in the BOL, This is my ConfigurationFile.ini:
(I used the installation package SQLEXPR32_x86_ENU.exe, on Window 7sp1 32 bit)
;SQL Server 2012 Configuration File
[OPTIONS]
ACTION="PrepareImage"
IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS="True"
ENU="True"
QUIET="True"
UpdateEnabled="False"
FEATURES=SQLENGINE
HELP="False"
INDICATEPROGRESS="False"
INSTALLSHAREDDIR="C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server"
INSTANCEID="SQLEXPRESS"
INSTANCEDIR="C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server"
I did a sysprep of the machine and I run the CompleteImage step, with this configurationfile.ini
;SQL Server 2012 Configuration File
[OPTIONS]
ACTION="CompleteImage"
IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS="True"
ENU="True"
QUIET="True"

INSTANCENAME="SQLEXPRESS"

SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT Service\MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS"
SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\Administrators"
SAPWD="xxxxxxx"
TCPENABLED="1"
NPENABLED="0"
BROWSERSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Automatic"
The step fail with error: "SQL Server 2012 edition upgrade" failed.
The selected SQL Server instance does not meet upgrade matrix requirements.
Any suggestion?
Thank you, Fabrizio
