I don't really know if I have to post it here or in the PowerShell forum, so I try here first.
I've just created a few accounts on a new machine with it's own domain. It's a Win 2008 R2 machine.
I'm trying to install SQL Server 2008 R2 on that machine and I'm stuck with the error message:
The Credentials you provided for the SQL Server Agent Service are invalid. To continue, provied a valid account and password for the SQL Server Agent service.
I just wanted to ask, if that account I use for the SQL Server, needs some special permissions like SQL permissions or something. The account does not have admin rights, does it need admin rights?
I'm actually quite sure, that I typed account name and pw correct.
