    Hi,

    I'm having a problem setting up the Source hierarchy.
    I get the error :

    "Config Manager failed to run the SQL Server Function 'fnSCCMMultiByteToWideChar'.
    Ensure the specified credentials have permission to run this function on the source site database server."

    CM07 setup is :
    - 1 primary server
    - 1 server hosting database (SQL Cluster)

    CM12 setup is :
    - 1 primary server
    - 1 server hosting database (SQL standard)

    I try to setup the Source Hierarchy using the computer account of the 2012 primary site.

    The account of the CM 12 primary server as the following rights :
    - Local admin on CM 07 primary server
    - Member of the Distributed COM Users on CM07 primary server

    - SMS Admin on CM 07 primary server
    - Full admin in CM 07 console (I know it's too much, but it was easier)
    - Read and execute on the database

    I think that cover all the needs for it to connect.

    Any idea on the error message? is some rights missing?

    thanks

    See. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712313.aspx:

    To gather data you must configure the following two accounts for each source site:

    • Source Site SMS Provider Account: This account is used to access the SMS Provider of the source site and requires Read permission to all source site objects.
    • Source Site SQL Server Account: This account is used to access the SQL Server database of the source site and requires Read and Execute permissions to the source site database.

    Hi,

    I followed this exact page from technet.

    The account of the CM 12 primary server as the following rights :

    - Local admin on CM 07 primary server
    - Member of the Distributed COM Users on CM07 primary server

    - SMS Admin on CM 07 primary server
    - Full admin in CM 07 console (I know it's too much, but it was easier) This covert the part for SMS Provider
    - Read and execute on the database This should do it for the SQL server account

    So something must be missing.

    thanks

    oh well... it's always better to double check security by myself....

    It was missing Execute on the 3 function for SCCM on the source database.

    sorry about that.
