Hello everyone,
I'm currently trying to install a SQL Server (2012) instance on a Windows Server 2008R2 server.
My first move is to install the shared features on the server. I launched the "New SQL Server stand-alone installation or add features to on existing installation" in the setup.exe. It runs some tests but the two first fails everytime ("Setup administrator" and "Setup account privileges").
I'm an administrator of the machine. I tried to execute it in three different ways:
- Launch setup.exe --> fails
- Right-click>Run as administrator --> fails (I tried this even if the UAC didn't prompted me)
- Run setup.exe from a commandbox (cmd title: "Administrator:Command Prompt") --> fails
Everywhere I watched, I'm part of the Administrators group. I've installed another instance on another machine with the exact same binaries yesterday... (and I already tried to execute setup.exe from another copy of the binaries). Additional info: These machines are a cluster so they have the "exact" same configuration. One works, the other not.
What did I miss? Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks for the help!
