Check item

Description

User action

SSMS_IsInternetConnected

Verifies that the computer is connected to the Internet. When a .NET Framework application such as Microsoft Management Studio starts, there might be a slight delay while the .NET Framework security check validates a certificate.

Ensure that the computer is connected to the Internet.

AclPermissionsFacet

Checks if the SQL Server registry keys are consistent.

SQL Server registry keys must be consistent to support SQL Server installation or upgrade.

BlockMixedArchitectureUpgrade

Checks whether the CPU architecture of features you are trying to upgrade is different from the CPU architecture of this installation program.

You must install or upgrade by using SQL Server installation media that matches the architecture of the instance of SQL Server that you are modifying.

Cluster_IsOnlineIfClustered

Verifies that the computer is not clustered, or that the computer is clustered and the cluster service is online.

The computer must either not be clustered, or the cluster must be up and online.

Checks to see if the operating system version supports SQL Server multi-subnet failover clusters.

SQL Server multi-subnet failover clusters are supported on Windows Server 2008 R2 or higher.
