  • Artigo

[Thanks to Damian Leibaschoff for this tip]

 

When you try to install SBS 2003 R2 you get a generic error:

 

When you review the R2_Setup.log you see the following errors:

This can happen if you try to install SBS 2003 R2 as a user that is NOT the built-in Administrator.

How can you tell if you are running as the built-in Administrator?

From a command prompt run:

NET USER <USERNAME> /Domain

(Replace <USERNAME> with the user you are currently logged in with).

The built-in Administrator will show the following as the Comment:

“Built-In account for administering the computer/domain.”
