Environment

  • Product Family: Software
  • Product: Venus 1500
  • Component: Microsoft SQL Server 2008
  • Control System: Venus 1500 v4.18.1 or greater

Cause

  • Our Venus 1500 v4 installer directs the SQL Server to install and to run on Local Computer. Some computer networks and domains cannot allow services to start and run as this setting. This will require a manual install of the SQL and instead of choosing NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM the NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK will need to be selected.

Resolution

  1. Backup Database.
  2. Uninstall SQL Server if it is present following How to remove/uninstall SQL Server 2005, 2008 or 2014, DD3522855.
  3. Manually install the SQL Server 2008 by following How to Install Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Manually for Venus 1500 v4 or Vanguard v4 (This does not apply for Show Control Display Studio), DD2474426.
    • Be sure in step 12 to choose NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK under the Account Name.
