Hi,
I have to install the sql 2016 on new server. I want to copy the same settings and directory structure of an other instance, so maybe for directory structure I need to create folders which I can do in specific drive ( Not C 🙂
Also, I want to keep the same configuration or settings of an other instance which is also running 2016 version.
How can I copy or know which service components were installed on prior installation. The idea is installation needs to be same as the one which is already running on other server. Do I have to look at configuration manager to see what services are installed? How to check if Analysis services or client tool connectivity is installed as well?
