Does anyone have a quck guide on how to deploy Systems Management Server 2003. I've been trying to deploy it on a machine running Windows 2000 Server with SQL Server 7.0 sp4. However, I fail to finish the installation with the message either I should run SQL 7.0 with sp3 or higher, or the account 'server'\sms service does not have log on as service rights. i have the deployment guide from the microsoft website but thats too vague and doesn't help much.

OK I may be able to help here. Have you installed any POST SQL SP3 hot fixes or roll ups. Also have you installed the SQL Reporting program native or SP1. I have found that the SMS, MOM and other apps that do the preq checking, get confused if there is anything newer in SQL. For instance, it wants SQL Service pack 3 and all subrevs. Nothing Higher, MUST BE SP3. This is just a hunch so good luck.
