Suggestion documentation SQL support for SCCM
- Dear all,
I wanted to post a suggestion regarding the supported scenarios with SQL and SCCM.
Looking at the following articles:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc161823.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc161860.aspx
Regarding SQL 2005 it states that SCCM RTM and SP1 are only supported for SQL 2005 with SP2. I understood it is also supported for SQL 2005 SP3 now.
Other thing is that I can't find a hard documented statement that SCCM R2 is now supported on SQL Server 2008. The things I found are the following articles but it is not as clear as the statements regarding SQL support in the articles mentioned above:

- Hi Jannes,
You are correct that SQL 2005 SP3 and SQL 2008 are now supported for hosting the site database. An early announcement of this change went out on the Configuration Manager Support Team blog at http://blogs.technet.com/configurationmgr/archive/2009/01/06/sql-server-2005-sp3-is-now-supported-for-sms-2003-and-configmgr-2007.aspx, and the official supported configurations topics in the documentation library are in the final stages of a new update to reflect the changes in support.
Additionally as part of the latest update, the supported configurations topics have been reformatted to make them easier to read and some additional information has been added to them. One item that was added relevant to this thread is a table in each supported configurations topic that clearly outlines which versions of SQL Server are supported for each release.
I hope this helps,
Jeff Gilbert, Senior Technical Writer - Configuration Manager 2007 - Hi,
Many thanks for your reply, great!
