Windows 7 does not RequireKerberos property to determine if Kerberos authentication is enabled. To the extent that Windows 7 does not RequireKerberos property to determine if Kerberos authentication is enabled for a resource network name, installation failover cluster of SQL Server 2008 RTM fails. FIPS when the policy is enabled in Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, the cluster validation fails during installation of SQL Server 2008 RTM. When the strategy is FIPS enabled in Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, cluster validation fails during installation of SQL Server 2008 RTM. Therefore, the installer fails.

In Windows Server 2008 R2. NET Framework is a component system. Therefore, you can not install. NET Framework from the point of redistribution. You must install the.
