I'm still working on it, so I can't comment on the overall success, but I can report that I got a clean install of the stack. I started out trying to install on a 2008R2 Core server but due to the intricacies of "core" installations, I decided to go with 2008 Standard instead. I ended up running the installer twice and got clean results each time. Each time it ran in a couple of hours -- much faster than I actually expected.
My setup is as follows: VMware Server Version 2.0.2 Build 203138 Windows 2008 x64 Standard,without Hyper-V, SP 2, all current patches applied VM Settings: Initial RAM: 5G E5405@2.0 GHz (2 procs) Final Disk used 27.98 of 60G allocated SQLServer 2008 After the install I backed the memory down to 4G. It runs on the slow side and is constantly running at 95-98% memory used, but it is sufficient for a sandbox environment. I am still working through developing our migration plan. So far, I still feel like migration is the right choice for us, rather than rolling the dice on an upgrade in place.
