Re: Help with WSS 3.0 Server Farm Config - Backend SQL 2005

Hmmm, did you give the setup account (that sharepoint account you created)
the logins dbcreator, and securityadmins roles on the SQL server. That
setup account needs to be able to set up the configuration database (which
happens around step two of configuration if memory serves), give that
database to the databases account, and to give the database account (the
configuration database and central admin account) the right to make the
other sharepoint databases.

Not giving the setup account the right roles in SQL could definitely mess
things up in the way you described.

Lemme know if this helps.

Has anyone one got WSS 3.0 working with a backend database?

I am getting a System.Security.Principal.IdentityNotMapped when trying to
configure the backend database.

I created the user "sharepoint" on both servers with the same password and
using NTLM to authenticate. When I go through the configuration, the
databases get created but something happens during step 2 and fails with
the above exception.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Chris
