Hello,
We have configured a RODC in our DMZ (dmz-dc01) and replication is running from the RWDC dc01 to dmz-dc01.
On the server dmz-sql01, which is domain joined through dmz-dc01, we want to install SQL 2012. I'm logging in to dmz-sql01 with a domain admin account, and running the SQL setup wizard. I'm specifying a domain account as the sql service account, and this doesn't work. The setup wizard can't find this user. The user is replicated and in the list of accounts allowed to be cached. I even tried to prepopulate it.
Looking at the event log on the RODC, I can't see any events where the service user is requesting logon.
I tried doing a test with the following command, from dmz-sql01: "runas /noprofile /user:domain\sqlsvc notepad"
This Works, and in the event log on the RODC, I get an Audit Success event (Kerberos Authentication Service).
The RODC seems to work, and I got multiple clients on the domain through it which I can login through. But the SQL Server 2012 Setup wizard won't allow me to use a domain user when specifying the sql service account. Do you have any idea what can cause this?
