I need to do a fresh install in a lab environment. Where's a good place to download it?

If you want it for a lab environment you can get a preconfigured VHD with an evaluation edition of 2008 R2 installed. It is valid for 180 days:

Also, you can get it if you or one of your colleagues have a MSDN subscription. If the subscription is not yours you can download it from there and use it for the 180 day evaluation period.

How To Slipstream SQL Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3

Introduction

You have been tasked to install SQL Server 2008 R2 on a server and you need to have the latest Service Pack as well, but want to accomplish it in one installation. Well no fear slipstream to the rescue. In this post we will cover how to slipstream SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3 to a fresh SQL Server 2008 R2 installation.

What You Need

SQL Server 2008 R2 installation media
SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3

Download SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3 from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44271

SQLServer2008R2SP3-KB2979597-x64-ENU.exe
SQLServer2008R2SP3-KB2979597-x86-ENU.exe

Perform The Slipstream

Here are the steps:

For this post I have used C:SQLServer2008R2 as my location for the media and patch, replace with your choice of directories.

Sql 2008 R2 Support

Copy your original SQL Server 2008 R2 source media to C:SQLServer2008R2.

Extract each of the SQL Server 2008 SP3 packages to C:SQLServer2008R2SP as follows:

Microsoft Sql 2008 R2 Iso</h2><p>robocopy C:SQLServer2008R2SP C:SQLServer2008R2 Setup.exe</p><p>Copy all files not the folders, except the <strong>Microsoft.SQL.Chainer.PackageData.dll</strong>, in C:SQLServer2008R2SP<architecture> to C:SQLServer2008R2<architecture> to update the original files. Here is the robocopy command:</p><h2 id='sql-2008-r2-iso-download'>Sql 2008 R2 Iso Download</h2><div><textarea readonly='>robocopy C:SQLServer2008R2SPx86 C:SQLServer2008R2x86 /XF Microsoft.SQL.Chainer.PackageData.dll robocopy C:SQLServer2008R2SPx64 C:SQLServer2008R2x64 /XF Microsoft.SQL.Chainer.PackageData.dll

2	robocopyC:SQLServer2008R2SPx86C:SQLServer2008R2x86/XF Microsoft.SQL.Chainer.PackageData.dll robocopyC:SQLServer2008R2SPx64C:SQLServer2008R2x64/XF Microsoft.SQL.Chainer.PackageData.dll

Determine if you have a DefaultSetup.INI at the following locations:

C:SQLServer2008R2x86
C:SQLServer2008R2x64

If you have a DefaultSetup.INI at the above locations, add the following lines to each DefaultSetup.INI:

If you do not have a DefaultSetup.INI, create one with the following content:
;SQLSERVER2008 R2 Configuration File

2	PCUSOURCE='.SP'

and copy to the following locations
C:SQLServer2008R2x86
C:SQLServer2008R2x64

This file will tell the setup program where to locate the SP source media that you previously extracted.

Run setup.exe as normal.

Conclusion

As we can see the process is not hard to slipstream the latest service pack into your SQL Server 2008 R2 installation

Brilliant quick and useful and worked a treat many thanks
This is brilliant! I had to install replication as an addition to a pre-existing SQL 2008 R2 install that was updated to SP3 long after the original install. Replication services wouldn’t install for me on this server until I discovered this gem and ran through the above process. This was a HUGE help!
