Install OpsMgr on SQL 2008 R2
When installing OpsMgr on SQL 2008 R2 the installation will not find the SQL instance and give the following error: Microsoft SQL Server is required. Please see details
To go around this requirement, use the DBCreateWizard.exe that you find on the OpsMgr media \SupportTools\<architecture>\DBCreateWizard.exe
Observe that this is NOT TESTED OR SUPPORTED by Microsoft!!!
And that one will find the instance.
