1 Preparation before installation
Before installing SQL server 2012 servers and clients, you need to prepare the following two items in advance:
SQL Server2012 relies on the. Net Framework 3.5.1 Components. Windows Server 2012 does not have this component installed by default, so you need to install it manually.
To ensure that SQL Server works properly, you need to make sure that TCP port 1433 is available, so you need to shut down Windows Firewall.
1.1 Installing the. Net Framework 3.5.1
Click on the "Server Manager" button on the right side of the system "start" button to go to Server Manager and select "Features" in the left navigation tree.
