I'm comfortable enough with 2012. Have been using Windows 8 for a few months now so the interface is OK. Can I ask how those of you who have done it did steps 7 to 9 on server 2012? I've read a few people have used the Windows Noob guide for 2008 R2 installation. I got stuck at Step 7. Install .NET 3.5.1 and WCF Activation Can I ask how those of you who have done it did steps 7 to 9 on server 2012? I want to make sure the 'base' installation is right otherwise it's going to be a problem further on down the line.

Hi all My first post, so please be gentle! I'm currently running SCCM 2007 R3, and am planning my migration to 2012 SP1. I've been reading the excellent guides on here but am wondering if I should 'bite the bullet' and go for a Server 2012 with SQL 2012 Standard installation. My thinking behind this is I would like this to be a one shot migration, and if I install SCCM 2012 onto a Server 2008 R2 box I will only have to upgrade that at some point in the future. So, has anyone here done an install onto a Server 2012 box with SQL 2012 Standard? The only link I've found on the internet has been this one but that was back in October. So I suppose I'm asking everyone's advice really. Would you recommend waiting a while until more people have upgraded to Server 2012, or go for an SCCM upgrade but use the guide here and put it onto a Server 2008 R2 box. Our SCCM 2007 R3 installation is working fine, so there is no big rush, but it is something I'd like to do soon (even if just for the ability to deploy Windows 8). Thanks for reading, and thanks Windows Noob for providing such an invaluable resource.
