Can anybody assist with a best practice for and SQL2008 R2 install to host SCCM 2007

Hi All
I used to have a link to what I was sure was a technet article that discussed some outline best practice for installing SQL 2005 for SCCM.I cant find this link anywhere now.
The current project I am on is to recover a somewhat failed installation of an SCCM infrastructure that has 22 regional child primary sites. I have uncovered a multitude of errors and inconsistencies in the SCCM part of the installation however when it comes to the SQL part I am somewhat out of my depth with regard to setting a standard in line with best practice.
Can anybody assist with a best practice guideline for and SQL2008 R2 server install to host SCCM 2007.
Thank You

Hi,
There are no major differences of best practices between SQL 2005 and 2008/R2. See "Best Practices for SQL" here http://technet.microsoft..m/en-us/library/bb694127 and also this link http://technet.microsoft..../library/bb632649.aspx

Thanks

This assumes that I have 2005 guidelines - which I seem to have lost.
 

Cjones,
 
I am not sure if I can answer you question completely however I found a pretty good resource talking about some similar installations that might be of interest to you. You can check it out . 
 
Good Luck,

Hi, David.  If you need to post a link, let me know.  The forums prohibit links until you've posted a few times.  Sounds like you may have a good resource there.
