SharePoint 2010 on SQL 2012

Did a production SharePoint install on SQL 2012 the other day.  Went very smooth. No issues at all.   Just FYI/

SharePoint 2010 on Windows Server 2012!

So, I couldn't sleep tonight and decided to see if I could get SP 2010 up and running on the newly released Windows Server 2012 RC. The short answer is YES! The long answer is a bit more fun. WS 2012 installs like a dream and is very Metro. Getting SharePoint to install was a bit trickier. I ended up downloading a script I found here: SP 2010 PreReqs PS and it worked like a charm.  The rest of the install was normal.  I also installed SQL 2012 Express Management Studio so I could attach some content databases from another farm.  Just for added fun.

Everything is rocking along as it should.  It's now a production box for one of my sites ;-)
