Hi Jaybee,
Thanks a lot for your response.
Our DBA is not happy to provide elevated privileges even for installation purposes as the server accomodates lots of other application acorss the organization.
Hence I requested for a SQL server (where there are no other instances) where I can initiate installation through application and later maybe import the database to Live server. I was given a VMware Sql server and installation went through fine and all done in less than 3 minutes as you have mentioned 🙂
I tried to import few apps and run through the tests in test center to know the virtualisation readiness but , I dont get that tab in test center although we have professional License. Have contacted for the same.
many Thanks
