How can I install SS2K with domain account?

  • Hi all,

    I have seen in documents that I can install SS2K on a machine without network domain connection using a domain account.It said that domain accounts are prefered according to some reasons and it is not limited to machines on a domain so you should do it on a single PC.

    I tried this during installation and entered many different things but no chance:

    /

    ...

    Would you please telling me what should I enter as service starter account if I want to use domain users?

    -Thanks in advance

  • What problems are you having?

  • Sorry for fuzzy question!

    It doesn't know the user account I enter.The user is one of OS users that I have used by "Local users and Groups" in windows.

    Any idea? BTW I can login to windows using this user successfuly.

    -Thanks

  • What format do you use? It should be Host_name\User_name. It works without problems.

  • IF you are attempting to do something like the following it wont work:

    1.  Setup a PC that is NOT on the network

    2.  Attempt to install SQL using DOMAIN\USERID (doesn't exist on PC)

    This however WILL work

    1.  Setup PC NOT on network

    2.  CREATE a login on the LOCAL PC

    3.  Install SQL using LOCALPCNAME\USERID.

    4.  Add PC to network.

    5.  Change SQL services to use DOMAIN\USERID...
