Some Important things to remember before you go for SQL Server Installation.
1. For local installations, you must run Setup as an administrator. If you install SQL Server from a remote share, you must use a domain account that has read and execute permissions on the remote share.
2 You may need to apply cumulative updates to the original media before you install SQL Server 2008 R2, if you are affected by a known issue in the setup program.
3 Typical stand-alone instances of SQL Server 2008 R2, whether default or named instances, do not use a nondefault value for the Instance ID check box.
4 Instance root directory — By default, the instance root directory is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\. To specify a nondefault root directory, use the field provided, or click Browse to locate an installation folder.
5 If you specify nondefault installation directories, ensure that the installation folders are unique to this instance of SQL Server. None of the directories in this dialog box should be shared with directories from other instances of SQL Server.
6 The VIA protocol is deprecated. This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.
7 Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 requires Windows Installer 4.5 and .Net Framework 3.5s.
8 Domain Account: This account is a part of your domain that has access to network resources for which it is intended to have permission for. It is always advised to run SQL Server and related services under a domain account with minimum privilege need to run SQL Server and its related services.The Domain Account Password should not expire.
NOTE:Microsoft recommends that you do not use the Network Service account for the SQL Server or the SQL Server Agent services if an account with lesser privileges is available, because Network Service is a shareable account. Network Service is appropriate for use as a SQL Server service account only if you can ensure that no other services that use the account are installed on the computer. Local User or Domain User accounts that are not a Windows administrator are more appropriate for SQL Server services.
9 Before you upgrade SQL Server, enable Windows Authentication for SQL Server Agent and verify the required default configuration: that the SQL Server Agent service account is a member of the SQL Server sysadmin group.
10 For Analysis Services instances that you deploy in a SharePoint farm, always use SharePoint Central Administration to change the server accounts for PowerPivot service applications and the Analysis Services service. Associated settings and permissions are updated to use the new account information when you use Central Administration.
11 If you have no domain accounts or running under multiple domains and Your SQL Server needs access to other resources in the network, you can create an user account with same username and password across all Servers and use that as service account in your servers.
