The biggest challenge with the SQL install is that is monolithic. We install it with Chef using windows_package.  This provider uses the package name ( in the registry uninstall key) to determine whether SQL is installed.   This means that you can't really change the installed components or features because chef just sees it as SQL server.  This not only limits our ability to add or remove features later, it also limits chefs ability to control configuration drift. 

The install is also huge, and we have to map to a file share to do the install  (as opposed to http). The install over the network takes over 30 minutes, and times out sometimes.  I'm not sure how much anyone can really do about that though. Again, if there were a way to make it more modular, you could at least potentially install smaller packages, though more of them (perhaps similar to the way IIS features are installed?)

I haven't even attempted a multi-instance or clustered setup...

There were some challenges with the reporting services con
