Installation Query - Account Credentials
Installation Query - Account Credentials
- Hi all,
I'm trying to get to grips with Forefront Security for SharePoint and I'm having problems with my install. An error keeps occuring in my Applications event log stating the following:
"SQL Database 'SharePoint_AdminContent_....' on SQL Server instance '<cluster>' not found
Addition information from SQL Server is included below.
Cannot open database "SharePoint_AdminContent_...' request by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user '<Domain\userid>'."
I believe that the problem may be due to my providing an incorrect account during the installation process. Step 10 in the 'Installing Forefront Security for SharePoint' instructions states the following:
"10. Enter the account to be used for remote SharePoint database access. This account must be a member of the local Administrators group on which SharePoint Portal Server is installed (one who is a local administrator on the web server or who has System Administrator rights on the database server). You cannot use the default 'Administrator' account. The user name must be entered in the following format: <domain or server name\user name>"
To quickly try a different account (that I know is a member of the domain admins group (thus a member of local admins on the servers within the cluster)), is there a quick way to change the account credentials entered in step 10 above following installation or is it a case of having to do a complete reinstall?
Thanks in advance for any comments,
Neil.
