SQL 2008 R2 Support for System Centre Products

I was asked during the week about the support statements for SQL 2008 R2 and System Centre products.  At the time of writing, SQL 2008 R2 is supported for most, if not all, of the System Centre products.  There are certain caveats of course. 

Always refer to https://technet.microsoft.com/en-ie/systemcenter and the support configurations for each product.  Here is some more specific info:

• SCVMM 2008 R2(only)  : https://technet.microsoft.com/en-ie/library/cc764220(en-us).aspx
• SCCM : See SQL Server Site Database Configurations at https://technet.microsoft.com/en-ie/library/ee344146(en-us).aspx
• SCOM : Use of SQL Server 2008 R2 is currently only supported for new installations of Operations Manager 2007 R2.  Check out https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2425714 for information on how to create the databases
