Is SQL 2008 compatible with Windows Server 2012?

Question

Is SQL 2008 compatible with Windows Server 2012? I already asked this in the Windows Server 2012 Forum and they asked me to post it here.

Thanks for looking

Answer 1

Installation should work smooth if you enabled .NET3.5 first and you install SQL server 2008 in slip stream mode

(SQL server 2008 + Service pack 3)

to install SQL server 2088 using slipstream see
