SQL Server 20058 R2 Upgrade

  • Hi,

    I am having trouble performing an in place upgrade from SQL 2005 Enterprise (SP4) to 2008 R2 Enterprise. All goes well at first, it passes all the rule checks but during the upgrade the following error pops up during SqlBrowserConfigEngAction_upgrade_ConfigNonRC

    The specified user 'user@domain.net' does not exist

    Retry or Cancel

    Retry pops the same message, cancel leaves me with a working 2005 instance but a half installed 2008 R2 install with a lot of reg entries to clear before I can even start again. The following is from error point in Detail.txt. Oh and the user already exists in the group.

  • This is a hunch as I have not seen this error before. Check the "SQL Server Browser" service to see who the service is logging in as. If it's a specific user make sure the account exists and that the service can be started (i.e. that the password used by the service is correct).
