Question
-
Hi guys,
Can SCCM 2007 with SP1 and SCOM 2007 with SP1 database using SQL Server 2008 clean installation?
I found KB971541 for SCOM, so the database can be installed to SQL server 2008, is it right ?

SQL Server Site Database Configurations
When installing Configuration Manager 2007 SP1, the site database can be installed on either the default instance or a named instance of a supported SQL Server version installation. The instance used to host the site database can also be configured as a SQL Server failover cluster instance in an active/passive cluster, or multiple instance, configuration.
The following table describes the versions of SQL Server supported to host the Configuration Manager 2007 SP1 site database.
SQL Server Version Edition Service Pack System Architecture SQL Server 2005
Standard or Enterprise Edition
SP2 or SP3
x86 or x64
SQL Server 2008
Standard or Enterprise Edition
No service pack or SP1
x86 or x64

Supported configurations for ConfigMgr SP1: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc161823.aspx (so yes, SQL 2008 is supported).
You can co-locate both databases on the same SQL server, but I would not recommend it from a performance point of view.- Proposed as answer by Damilola Osude Tuesday, May 11, 2010 10:11 AM

If I recall correctly you won't be able to use the same instace of Reporting Services for SCCM since SCOM will use it for its reporting. SCCM will have to stick with the current web reports.

To Torsten : according to http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrannouncements/thread/729a17a4-eafa-4c98-b5d5-280aaa063f3a I have to use SCCM 2007 SP2 to be working with SQL Server 2008, the supported scenario, first I have to install SQL Server 2005, install the hotfix and upgrade to SQL Server 2008,so I can't use clean installatioin SQL Server 2008 ?
To Matthew and muppielee : thx, nice info m8 :)

to krisna:
yes you can use a clean install of sql 2008 in as much as you patch it with sp1 or sp2. i am very sure about sp1 but i believe sp2 should not pose any problem either.
