any idea how to give write access and creating local user group on the RODC??

I am still failing in installing sql 2005

I have tried using the domain administrator account but still failed.

I guess the problem is with the following option

While installing SQL, we need to specify service accounts login.

i have tried:

--Local...

come on.

no one ever faced this problem??

thanks a lot for the hint.

I actually did install SP1 for IE just few minutes ago and now am re-installing SQL 2005.

I guess this was the issue.

regards
