Problem installing SMS 2003 Server

by eminent87 . Updated 16 years, 11 months ago

Hi,

I’m trying to install SMS 2003 on Windows 2003 server. I’m stuck at the final part of the installation, it asks to add administrator priviledge to the sql server but I have no idea how to do this. Can someone help me with this? Here is the error:

“Either the SQL Server is in a Windows NT 4 domain or this computer’s machine account does not have Administrator’s privileges on the SQL Server. To install a site in advanced security, all servers must be in Active Directory and the site server’s machine account must have Administrator’s privileges on the SQL Server.”

I have installed sql on a different server and created a database for the sms site but I do not know how to add administrator priviledge to the computer account. Please help!

Thank you.
