Installing and Configuring SQL Server 2008 R2
NOTE:  If CAD and SQL Server 2008 R2 are co-resident on the 
Peripheral Gateway, and Unified ICM is upgraded to release 11.0, SQL 
Server 2008 R2 might cause the upgrade to fail. To prevent this 
issue, you must upgrade to SQL Server 2014 or move SQL Server 
2008 R2 to an offboard server.
Before proceeding with the SQL Server 2008 R2 installation, you must create the user 
account detailed in 
For CAD to function properly, the Recording and Statistics service must connect to 
both the Admin Workstation database as well as its own local database. If you are 
using NT (Windows) Authentication to connect to both databases, the same user must 
be used for authentication. If this user is different than the local user that is currently 
logged in, you must first create this user with local administrator privileges in Windows 
Computer Management before you install SQL Server. 
You must use this account to install SQL Server 2008 R2 and CAD base services. 
Later, you must specify this user in step
 of the procedure below. 
If there are any firewalls running (for example, the default Windows Firewall), make 
sure that the firewall includes an exception for SQL Server. If there is no exception and 
a firewall is enabled, the Recording & Statistics service will not work.
Verify that you have an active internet connection.
The following settings must be configured during the SQL Server 2008 R2 installation 
for CAD to function properly. Navigate between nodes using the Next and Back 
buttons.
NOTE:  As a best practice, use NT (Windows) authentication as per the 
procedure below. If you want to use SQL authentication, some steps 
must be modified. Consult your SQL Server documentation for more 
information.
To install and configure a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 named instance for CAD 10.0:
1. Start the SQL Server 2008 R2 installer (setup.exe). 
2. On the SQL Server Installation Center window, select Installation in the left 
navigation pane. 
3. Select New installation or add features to an existing installation. The SQL 
Server 2008 R2 Setup window appears. 
4. Accept the prompts and allow the support files to install.
