My team has been tasked with deploying Windows Server 2012 R2, and SQL Server 2012 SP2 CU6. We are looking at a couple of different scenarios 1) Using SQL Server Sysprep to deploy SQL Server 2012 allow for cloning the server 2) Full unattended install 3) Build gold image with Windows Server 2012 R2, SQL Server 2012 SP2 CU6 fully patched and security configured.
We have 2 different setups for SQL Server 2012. One is just has the database engine, and the 2nd one has the Database Engine, Analysis Services Integration Services, and Reporting services.
Are there any issues with running sysprep on a Windows Server 2012 R2 with a running SQL Server 2012 SP2 CU6 Instance? Would this be a supported environment?
Any information would be appreciated.
