Run the file setupdl.exe

You will be asked for a location

Now specify C:\SCCM-Prerequisites as the location. Click Download.

Wait for the prerequisite check to complete.

You can see that there are two warning about SQL Server memory limit.

And

Make sure to change memory limit to 8192.

After that, I reran the check, there is a failure about SQL Server collation.

Change the collation with the command in Windows PowerShell

PS D:\> ./setup.exe /action=rebuilddatabase /instancename=MSSQLSERVER /SQLCollation=SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS=dalaris\sccmadm

After changing the collation, verify the collation has been changed.

Also make sure again that the memory limit is set properly. This reverts back to default after I changed the collation. Therefore we need to confirm and set as shown below.

Now that we have resolved all issues, we will see a blank detailed page. All prerequisite rules passed successfully. Click Begin Install.

My installation took about 12 minutes 17 seconds. Click Close.
