  • The article says, we should modify the registry key's for the groups

    I have in the registry, SQLGROUP, AGTGROUP and FTSGROUP is having some value.

    to install SP3, do ineed to delete this key values from the gropu? or do i need to delete entire group?

    please clarify....

  • Is there any examples for psgetsid?

  • Little bit of Googling will surely help. However see this link.

    ------

    As mentioned in the above link..

    1) Download the Pstools from the below link

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897417.aspx

    2) Copy it to the server and from command prompt( go to the path where u saved the Pstools)

    type -- psgetsid \\servername

    SID value will be displayed.

    Ex: SID for \\servername:

    S-1-x-xx-xxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx

    Copy the above SID value..

    3) go to command prompt.. type regedit

    go to

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\Setup

    replace SID value for below groups with the above SID value by right clicking the particular group -> click modify -> paste the new SID value -> click OK

    SQLGroup

    AGTGroup

    FTSGroup

    modify the existing SID value with the above SID value

    --->

    To modify SID value of ASGroup

    go to

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.X\Setup

    Where MSSQL.X may be MSSQL.2 / MSSQL.3

    modify the existing SID value with the above SID value

    and start the installation.. it will work

    🙂

  • I have this exact same issue except that for me I installed SQL 2005 got the server up and running and then promoted to a DC. (It is a really small network with only 3 servers and the SQL server is pretty much sitting idle) Now there are no local accounts only domain accounts. Any idea on what I need to do about the SID's?

  • I tried to update the three registry entries AGTGroup, FTSGroup, and SQLGroup, but that did not solve the problem.

    However, when I deleted those three registry entries and restarted the computer, the installation of the service pack went without problems.

    After the installation had completed, I checked the registry again. The three registry entries were recreated with correct values during the installation.

    This worked with SP4 and probably works with the earlier service packs as well.

  • Hi,

    Years later I have the same problem. And I have another question related to this issue. Kindly excuse when it is a silly question.

    Do I have to delete the complete subkey (eg AGTGroup-> right click -> delete) or just the value it contains (eg: AGTGroup -> right click -> modify -> delete the String in "Value data" -> click ok)

    Thanks for answering in advance!
