Error on SCCM install

---

Mike or Adam, i am building a home lab and i am trying to install SCCM. Everything goes fine until the prerequisite check at the end. I keep getting the errors listed below. I choose a local install for the SQL as you did in your demo. Can you say what might be causing the errors? Was trying to send you a screen capture of the error, not able to load pic.

SQL server service running account - Failed
User State Migration Tool (USMT) Installed - Failed
Required SQL Server Collation - Failed
SQL Server sysadmin rights - Failed
Windows Deployment Tools Installed - Failed
Windows Preinstallation Environment installed - Failed

I had installed the ADK for Windows 10. Not sure if that is causing the errors with USMT, WPE and the WDT. I am installing the ADK for 8.1 to see if those go away. Need help with the SQL errors.

Thanks, Cecil

Just an update on where i am so far, i installed the ADK for windows 8.1 and that seemed to clear up the issues with the USMT and the Windows development Tools. I am still getting the error with the SQL install.

SQL Server service running account - Failed
Required SQL Server Collation - Failed
SQL Server sysadmin rights - Failed

It is not allowing me to install a SQL express or the native client. Not sure how you got it to work in the demo. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Cecil

Hey Cecil,

Use the SQL Server Configuration Manager console to check the account that the SQL Server service is using. It needs to be a domain account. (Can also be network service or local system account, just cannot be a local account) Also make sure the SQL Server service is running, and set to start automatically.

Let me know if this works, if not we can troubleshoot further.

Hi Mike, thanks for responding. The account that i am using is a domain admin account. i also made the account a enterprise admin and a schema admin. I did all of the pre req install, extend the schema, and install the adk 8.1 and then started the install for system center. I choose the typical install which is going to install a local instance of SQL on my server. I am not sure at what step in the process to use SQL Server Configuration Manager to check the account that the SQL Server is using. Can point me in the right direction, thanks.
