Business Portal 1.2 Installation problem

Hi,

I am having difficulties installing Business Portal v1.2. It's being installed on Windows 2000 Server SP3, SQL Server 2000 SP3, Great Plains v7.5 with the TWO company installed only. The server is a standalone server. The server runs no other applications.

I proceed with the installation and reach a screen which asks for 'Connection Information' (Step 13 on Page 33 of the Business Portal Installation Guide PDF). This window states -

'SQL credentials that can be used to create the Business Portal SQL login and to add SQL objects (These credentials are used only during the installation process)'

This screen provides a choice of Windows Authentication or SQL Server. I supply the 'sa' user and password and get the following error message -

'The Business Framework Login ID is currently a member of the SQL Server system adminstrator fixed server role. Please choose a SQL Login ID that is not a member of this role.'

So, for fun I created a SQL USer that is not a member of the system administrator fixed role and got the following error message -

'The Administrator Login ID specified ([login name]) is not a member of the SQL Server system administrator fixed server role. Please enter a Login ID that is a member of this role.'

This happens regardless of Windows Authentication or SQL Authentication.

I ran a SQL Profiler during the install process and I found an error 208 (object not found) when the install process was trying to query 'Mbfinstalledatabases' table which does not exist in any database in SQL.

I have checked techknowledge and there is nothing related to this problem.

I can not proceed any further with the install. :-(

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Marcin.
 
Hi,

I logged the call with MBS support and got a response.

They stated that the user entered into step 13 as mentioned in the question, should not exist in SQL Server Logins.

The manual however states to enter a new or existing SQL User ID.

Regards,

Marcin.
