SOLVED The logon account for the sql server cannot be a local user account

[Syed Haris Ali]

Hi Mr. Prajwal,
Thanks for your tutorial for System Center Configuration Manager Installation guide, I came up with an failed message on the prerequisite check page

SQL server service running account Failed SQLSERVER.Test.com

The logon account for the sql server cannot be a local user account. NT SERVICE\ <sql service name> or LOCAL SERVICE. You must configure the SQL server service to use a valid domain account. NETWORK SERVICE, OR LOCAL SYSTEM.

Please I seek guidance on this issue if you could, I have installed sql server 2014 as the first option says "standalone" and I am doing all this in a VM environment, I have made an domain named as "Test.com" I have one domain controller VM named as SCCMSVR.test.com, one VM named as SQLSERVER.test.com on which I installed SQL SERVER 2014 and was trying to install SCCM 2012 R2 and the last is I have set the instance name as default which is "MSSQLSERVER".

Thanks,

Haris Ali

@Syed Haris Ali - you need to create a dedicate domain account to be used for the SQL Server Service. help link - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sq...m-services-change-the-service-startup-account
