Unhappy SQL server installation: Services accounts; service settings
Hi all, i need help for the installation.. SQL server 2000 gave me the error
"The logon account cannot be validated for the SQL service . Verify that
the user name and password entered are correct. The logon attempt failed."

I used my windows XP administrator account username and password .. why
it won't allowed me to install using a Domain user account instead of the local system account??

The funny thing is that i did installed SQL server before but the SQL server service cannot be logon
when i tried to use it..so i reformatted my HD. Please help.....i do not wish to reformat my HD again
or use the local system account during the installation.

Local System account vs Domain User account.. which is better??


Regards
kelvin

SQL Server 2000 Desktop/Personal/Developer editions run fine on XP.

The error sounds like you have selected a bad account for the SQL Server service. Try a different account or the system account maybe?

Have you recently changed the administrator's password? When you installed SQL Server, the set up asked you for the administrator's account user id and password.
If these don't match, the SQL Server won't start. The error message is typical of when you change your password.
I found this the hard way when I changed my server's admin account's password. The SQL Server ran fine until I restarted the server. The error you posted was the same I got. I changed the password back to the old pwd and SQL Server started normally.

Hope this helps.
