SharePoint 2013 Preview SQL error

Now this is were I ran into an issue.  The configuration process began and it failed at step 3

The error stated that the SQL Server instance does not have the required ”max degree of parrallelism” setting of 1.  Here I was scratching my head until Google came to the rescue.  I came across the following MSDN article which gave me the command I needed to resolve this.  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms181007(v=sql.105).aspx

We need to run the following script on our SQL 2012 server.

sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE;
GO
sp_configure 'max degree of parallelism', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE;
GO

Navigate to your SQL 2012 server and launch SQL Management Studio. Open a new SQL Query Window and paste the above.  That should do it!

You may have noticed in SQL under databases that the SharePoint_Config database had been created.  We need to delete the SharePoint_Config DB otherwise we would have to specify a new name when re-running the SharePoint Configuration Wizard.

After deleting the SharePoint_Config DB, re-run the SharePoint configuration Wizard.

This time is should go right through to the end without any errors and you will finally be greeted with the below successful screen.
