group:Installing SQL Server 2000 Developer on Windows XP Pro
sql server (alternate):
I'm a newbie with SQL Server 2000 Developer. I know that it is supposed to install on Windows XP Pro, but I keep running into the following message: "The logon account cannot be validated for the SQL Server service. Validate ...". I've looked for help and taken the advise of trying the user "Administrator", but that does not help. Initially I tried making a new user called "sqlserver" with Administrator access, but that didn't work. Can someone please help. Ideally step by step from where I am. Thanks in advance,

In particular, are you logged in with an administrator account when you run setup, and is your XP PC in a domain, or is it standalone? Have you also tried using the LocalSystem account (although it's better to use a domain account)? If you're logged in as an administrator, and if the account meets the requirements described in Books Online ("Setting up Windows Services Accounts"), then it should be fine.

Can you tell me what you mean about "is your PC in a domain"? It is networked using a DHCP server and can see the other computers (it is named: "XP7"). I installed iton a Windows 2000 Professional box a few days ago with no problem. Going through the exact same procedure on XP Pro doesn't work! Please help,
Hi,
Installed as an Administrator using a domain XP7. [quoted text, click to view] On 27 Apr 2004 19:23:37 -0700, rajchoud@hotmail.com (Raj) wrote:

Going through the exact same procedure on XP > Pro doesn't work! > > Please help, > > Raj I'm not sure I understand if XP7 is a computer name or a domain name, but I suspect it's a computer name. I would try the following: 1. Logon with your own Administrator account - check you have local admin rights 2. Logon with the "sqlserver" account - check you have local admin rights 3. Logon with your own Administrator account - run setup Assuming both accounts really do have local admin rights, then there should be no reason for account validation to fail. I asked about a domain because if the workstation is in a domain (ie. an Active Directory domain), then it's possible that there is some group or machine policy which is creating a problem. Although if you have a domain, it would probably be better to use a domain account for the SQL service, not a local computer account - I suspect there may be some confusion here between these two types of account, but I'm not at all sure.
