Installation Vault Server and SQL connection

[sppaul]

I'm doing a green install on a web server (windows 2012) and a seperate SQL server (also win 2012).

when installing the server I select Windows authetication and use a domain account that will be the account used by Vault. so far so good.
next, when the screen with the sql server info appears I, type in the sql server name and select, again, windows authentication. the process is trying to connect to the Sql server with windows authentication for use of creating the databases. Then I get the message that login failt with account DOMAIN\MACHINENAME$.

Why is the install process trying to connect with this account and why not with the user account that is used running the install? I run the install with a admin account that has access as SQL admin and expect the process will us this account to create the databases and give access to the domain account for use with Vault.

I will not set the sql sever to SQL authentication and also will not give admin acces to the machine account.

Any solution for this?

Thanks

Try running the installer from an elevated command prompt. Right click the command-prompt icon and select Run as Administrator. Then run the .msi from that command prompt.

Thanks Beth, this takes me a little further (I think).

now I get another message at the same installation step. see attachment.
What does this mean? common to both machines? how? wich account? install anyway? and then? things will not work? this is a programmers message. no use unless you'r the programmer self.

I'm running the install using a domain admin account (and run as administrator on the server) so the install procedure has more than enough permissions to to create anything that is needed to run the software (IIS, account permissions etc.).

That message is just a warning, not an error. It's intended for those users who are installing to workgroups. Since you are on a domain, you should be fine. Just click OK.

Hi Beth, thanks.

Yesterday I did take my chances and clicked on Ok as you say. Installation went fine but the first time the Vault site was started it crashed with a permission error. The domain account I use for the process had no rights to write in the temp asp directory. I added the account to the IIS user group (something the install should be doing I think) and everything was fine.

So now I can test Vault. Thanks for your help so far.

You're welcome.

Thanks for the update.
