Sql Server 2008 R2 Sp2 Download

Posted on  by

Dear Customers,

Jul 27, 2012 - Microsoft released SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2 this week and announced that it's available for download. Windows server 2008 r2 service pack 2 release date Server 2008R2 is outside of mainstream support and no more service packs will be released. Not to mention there are 2 newer server versions out and a 3d on the way soon. Britt Hi, Thanks for your post. As far as I know, currently there is no information about Windows Server 2008 R2 SP2. During the installer of Backup Exec I need to provide the EXE of the SQL Server Express 2008 R2 SP2 German installer, everything else doesn't work. I cannot install SQL first and then use the installed SQL in the installer, I have to provide the EXE for it otherwise it doesn't let me continue.
