SQL Server 2012 Upgrade Technical Guide
Chapter 20: Other Microsoft Applications and
Platforms
Introduction
SQL Server serves as the data server at the back end of many of Microsoft’s products.
When you upgrade these products, you may find that the SQL Server version
supporting the data layer within the product has also changed.
This chapter covers the following Microsoft products as they relate to upgrading to
SQL Server 2012:
Microsoft Lync Server 2010
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2010
Microsoft System Center
Microsoft Dynamics
Microsoft Lync Server 2010
Microsoft Lync Server 2010 supersedes Office Communications Server (OCS) 2007 R2.
The current release of Lync Server 2010 supports SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1. See the
following resources to learn more about Lync Server 2010 in general and as it relates to
SQL Server:
For information about Lync Server 2010, see the TechNet Library document
collection at
Microsoft Lync Server 2010

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2010
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2010 is one of the most widely used SQL Server
applications on the Microsoft platform. SharePoint 2010 supports SQL Server 2008, SQL
Server 2005, and SQL Server 2000 as back-end data servers. SharePoint 2010 has been
designed specifically with the advanced features available in SQL Server 2008 R2.
As of this writing, the latest features of SharePoint 2010 that function together with
Microsoft Office are available only through data server features released with SQL
Server 2008 R2.
Note: Upgrading SQL Server beneath SharePoint is not supported in most cases.
Instead, you should use a database migration approach.
For more information about how to use SQL Server 2008 R2 with Windows SharePoint
Services, see
SQL Server Integration with SharePoint
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/ee210689.aspx) in SQL Server 2008 R2 Books Online.
For more information on upgrading SharePoint 2007 to SQL Server 2008 R2, download
the
SQL Server 2008 R2 Upgrade Technical Reference Guide
(http://download.microsoft.com/download/3/0/D/30DB8D46-8ACF-442A-99A2-
0F4CE74AE14D/SQL_Server_2008_R2_Upgrade_Technical_Reference_Guide.docx).
Microsoft System Center
The Microsoft System Center family of management products helps IT professionals
manage their Windows Server infrastructure. The tools are especially useful in midsized
to large data environments. For comprehensive information about System Center, see
Microsoft System Center 2012
(http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/system-
center/default.aspx).
Two System Center products are especially relevant for SQL Server 2012: Operations
Manager (SCOM) and Data Protection Manager (DPM).
At the time of this publication, Microsoft System Center 2012 is at the Release
Candidate phase. The current System Center 2010 (SCOM) Management Pack
for SQL Server 2008 R2 is compatible with SQL Server 2012.
Data Protection Manager 2012 will support SQL Server 2012 in a subsequent
service pack release.

Microsoft Dynamics
The Microsoft Dynamics products consist of a set of integrated financial, supply chain,
and customer relationship management (CRM) solutions. The products include
Dynamics AX, Dynamics CRM, Dynamics GP, Dynamics NAV, Dynamics SL, and
Dynamics Retail Management System.
Each current Dynamics product supports SQL Server 2012 but has very specific
requirements for Windows versions, SQL Server version, product service/feature packs,
and so on.
Generally, you should upgrade a Dynamics application’s database server to SQL Server
2012 only after you follow specific guidance from your Dynamics Technical Account
Manager and by reviewing information found on the different Dynamics support web
sites. If you are a registered Dynamics user, you can find this information at
Microsoft
Dynamics Customers and Partners
(https://mbs.microsoft.com/partnersource).
Conclusion
As with any upgrade, planning is important for moving to any of these latest product
versions.
