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
prereq
To go around this requirement, use the DBCreateWizard.exe that you find on the OpsMgr media \SupportTools\\DBCreateWizard.exe
Observe that this is NOT TESTED OR SUPPORTED by Microsoft!!!
And that one will find the instance.
