SQL2008 Service Account Set up

  • Hi,

    We are trying to load SQL 2008 x64 on a Windows 2008 x64 machine. In the setup it is asking for a domain account. Our Active Directory Administrator has an account we currently use for one other server(x64-2008). For some reason, the account will not pass the initial setup screen during installation.

    Is there a KB article somewhere, I googled but it took me to many other places!!

    What are the required settings for the SQL server domain service account on a Windows x64 box?

    thanks,

  • None really, as long as it is not locked and you know the password. (Log on as a service is granted during installation I think.) Check that the server has joined the domain correctly - take it off and back on if necessary. Check that there is no domain policy pertaining to that user account and the server's computer account. HTH

  • In Active Directory, your admin has to right click on the user account and enable 'Account is Trusted for Delegation'
