SQL Server 2022 Enterprise — Installation & Setup Guide

This guide assumes you have the SQL Server 2022 Enterprise ISO file and a Windows Server (or compatible) target machine. It covers prerequisites, installation modes, setup steps, post-installation configuration, licensing, high-availability options, and basic security/hardening.

10) Analysis Services / SSAS

• Mode: Tabular vs Multidimensional; choose appropriate mode.
• Service account: domain account recommended.
• Add administrators.

Key Features in SQL Server 2022

SQL Server 2022 focuses on bridging on-premises infrastructure with the cloud and enhancing the data platform's intelligence.

17) Security & Hardening (Essentials)

• Least privilege for service accounts and logins.
• Disable SA or rename and lock down. Use Windows auth where possible.
• Enforce strong passwords and password policies.
• Enable Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) for data-at-rest if required — manage keys in a secure EKM/HSM or Windows Certificate Store.
• Enable Always Encrypted for sensitive columns (client-side encryption).
• Use Row-Level Security, Dynamic Data Masking, and Azure/Auditing features as needed.
• Regular vulnerability assessments.

1. Azure Integration (The "Azure-Enabled" Era)

This is the standout feature of the 2022 release. It allows on-premises databases to leverage cloud capabilities without a full migration.

• Azure Synapse Link: Enables real-time data ingestion into Azure Synapse Analytics for immediate analytics without managing complex ETL pipelines.
• Managed Instance Link: Provides a hybrid strategy allowing you to keep your data locally while offloading management tasks and backups to Azure SQL Managed Instance.

5) Setup Support Rules & Updates

• Let the installer run Setup Support Rules.
• Optionally allow Microsoft Update to check for updates (recommended).

21) Common post-install scripts (run in SSMS as admin)

• Verify collation, version:
  • SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('ProductVersion'), SERVERPROPERTY('ProductLevel'), SERVERPROPERTY('Edition');
• Configure max memory, MAXDOP, optimize TempDB files, and set up maintenance jobs (use Ola scripts or built-in maintenance plans).

3. Editions included in the ISO

The same ISO contains multiple editions; you choose during setup or via configuration file:

• Enterprise (Core-based licensing)
• Standard (Server+CAL)
• Developer (full Enterprise features, free for non-production)
• Express (free, limited to 10 GB database size)
