Using RTM installation Media after applying the service pack for SQL Server

  • There is a requirement to install Client components which are not installed on a MS SQL Server Installation.

    As of now SP2 is applied on the SQL Server.

    Is it OK to install the client component using the RTM installation media (2005, 2008, R2) after applying the Service Pack. Will it have any impact on the current installation?

  • If you just apply the client tools, this won't affect your installation. However, you might need to reapply the SP2 to be sure the client tools are up to date. Anything copied from them will be RTM specific.

  • Thanks!! Is it OK to reapply the service pack when it is already installed earlier.

  • It should be fine to reapply this.
