I'd say DON't do it if it isn't absolutely required. it's just creating a lot of extra dependencies and other issues. SCCM will treat that database instance as its own. IT will gladly restart the instance during SCCM patching for example and you will need an SA account to do the patching (personal experience)

Management wants to host the database on our SQL cluster. Does anyone know if using a CNAME is supported in the setup wizard when it prompts for database information? Are there any "gotchas" we should look out for in this kind of setup (SQL cluster)? Appreciate any feedback... Thanks, Kevin
