We highly recommend that you review the official Microsoft documentation before proceeding. All the earlier best practices are still applicable to SQL Server 2017 as well. Barring a few 32-bit components like Client Tools, Data Quality Client, and others, all other parts will need native 64-bit support.Īs you can see, SQL Server 2017 Windows System Requirements is very similar to SQL Server 2016 edition. SQL Server Core engine is 64-bit only and does not support the 32-bit editions of Windows 8 or Windows 10.Failover clustering is not supported on a DC. SQL Server has limitations when installing on a domain controller.SMB is also supported with certain limitations. Storage type will either need to be local, shared, storage space (S2D).
#SQL SERVER CLIENT 2017 INSTALL#
If you decide to install all the components, you will need hard disk space of 8030 MB.
However, the SQL Server setup requires a GUI and will not work on Core editions. Windows Server Essentials and Foundation Editions are also supported.
