I have a problem that I hope you can help with.
I am studying for my 70-462 exam and in order to do so, must setup virtual labs as follows.
- DC: Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise (Full Installation) - Domain controller for the lab network, contoso.com
- SQL-A: Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise (Full Installation) - Domain member for hosting SQL Server
- SQL-B: Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise (Full Installation) - Domain member for hosting SQL Server
- SQL-C: Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise (Full Installation) - Domain member for hosting SQL Server
- SQL-D: Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise (Full Installation) - Domain member for hosting SQL Server
- SQL-CORE: Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise (Server Core Installation) - Domain member for hosting SQL Server
I have created all of these VMs and installed the versions of Windows Server listed. I have also created the domain and joined VMs SQL-A, SQL-B and SQL-Core as well as creating a domain user on the Domain Controller called Contoso/Kim_Akers
. I am able to log in to all of the VMs with this user.
I have since installed SQL Server 2012 Ent on SQL-A and SQL B, but get the following error when trying to install SQL-Core.
Overall summary
Final result: Failed: see details below
Exit code (Decimal): -2068578304
Exit facility code: 1204
Exit error code: 0
Exit message: The Windows account Contoso/Kim_Akers does not exist and cannot be provisioned as a SQL Server system administrator.
Start time: 2016-07-06 20:02:52
End time: 2016-07-06 20:04:17
Requested action: Install
If I run whoami
on the SQL-Core VM it comes back as follows:
Consto.Kim_Akers
If I run SConfig
, it shows that I am connected to the Contoso domain, so I don’t understand where the error is coming from.
To provide further background on this, the command I am running to install SQL Server 2012 Enterprise on the Server Core 2008 VM is as follows.
Setup.exe /qs /Action=install /Features=SQLEngine,IS,Conn
/InstanceName=MSSQLServer /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="Contoso\kim_akers"
/IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms
What may be wrong with my setup?
