Hello,
We have one server where current OS and MSSQL server versions are as follows
OS:windows server 2008 R2 standard 64-bit
MSSQL: output of select @@version
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.4035.00 (Intel X86) Nov 24 2008 13:01:59 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition on Windows NT 6.1 (Build 7600: )
Now I am trying to install MSSQL 2012 on this server but initially it is giving me an error "The OS does not meet minimum requirement for MSSQL 2012.For windows server 2008 R2, service pack1 or later is required"
Here my concern is if I upgrade OS to Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1, Will it affect to my existing setup of MSSQL 2005? If yes what changes require to existing setup MSSQL 2005( any service pack required?)?
