I am working with a client who is rolling out 50+ VM's based of a template we created. This is SQL 2012 CU1 running on Windows Server 2008 R2. Using the default service account the installer has it registers fine and we get the following in the SQL log.
The SQL Server Network Interface library successfully registered the Service Principal Name (SPN) [ MSSQLSvc/server.domain.com:1433 ] for the SQL Server service.
When we change to a domain service account through SQL configuration manager we see the following and cannot connect remote using integrated authentication
The SQL Server Network Interface library could not register the Service Principal Name (SPN) [ MSSQLSvc/server.domain.com:1433 ] for the SQL Server service. Windows return code: 0x2098, state: 15. Failure to register a SPN might cause integrated authentication to use NTLM instead of Kerberos. This is an informational message. Further action is only required if Kerberos authentication is required by authentication policies and if the SPN has not been manually registered.
My understanding is you should and could change service accounts using the SQL Server Configuration Manager and it would set all permissions. Is there something we need to do in addition to get this up and working?
