SSP Provisioning Error

I receive this error message when I try to create a SSP for a new
installation:  (Provisioning failed: Windows NT user or group
'eurotherm.local\sqladmin' not found. Check the name again.)

This account is valid and has rights to the web and database server.

Here is the message from the Event Viewer:

A runtime exception was detected. Details follow.
Message: Windows NT user or group 'eurotherm.local\sqladmin' not found.

SSP Provisioning Error - Pappy

I do not really know why I had to do this but I had to change the SSP database and the Search Database to use  SQL authentication to get thru this.

SSP Provisioning Error

If you look at the security login for your sql server do you see the users in "computername/username" or "Domain/username"? I installed Sql Server before I upgraded my Win2003 computer to be a PDC but somehow the sql username stays with old format. I had to reinstall Sql Server.

SSP Provisioning Error

It appears as "Domain/username".

SSP Provisioning Error

You need to use the Netbios name of your domain, not eurotherm.local
for all your logins and that will take care of it.

I am having the exact same problem. Am not using the 'eurotherm.

I am having the exact same problem.  Am not using the 'eurotherm.local' format
for my logins, but the standard DOMAIN/ID format.  Still getting that same
error.

Is DOMAIN/ID what you mean by netbios name of the domain, or is that
something else
entirely?


Thanks,

We are having the same problem. More clarity would be great.

Did you use FQDNs (domain.

Did you use FQDNs (domain.com\username) for your initialization of the MOSS
databases?  I blogged about this a while ago [1]. FQDNs are not welcome in
MOSS.  The SQL calls choke on FQDN and thus the error that you are seeing
and non SSP provisioning.

You will have to go back through all of the service accounts that make calls
to the Database and change the accounts to the NETBIOS domain name\username.

Still not clear on what the exact name should be.

Still not clear on what the exact name should be.

SQL Server name:REJ1
Moss server name: rejmoss
Domain:JPSC.local
user: rjones

so I type: jpsc\rjones and it excepts the user after I check name, but I get
the same error about not being able to find user or group.

Can you tell me if my entry is wrong and what it should look like?
