Unable to install SQL 2008 for SBS - Operating system supported for edition - failed

Hi there,

Trying to install SQL 2008 for SBS on the second server that came with SBS 2008 premium, however it is failing on the vialidation process, where it fails on Operating system supported for Edition. The server is on the domain, are using domain credentials. I have enabled logging for th install. I am getting this:
SBSADCheck Information: 0 : Got product: PRODUCT_STANDARD_SERVER (0x00000007)
SBSADCheck Information: 0 : This is standard server, doing check
SBSADCheck Information: 0 : Current domain:**** .local
SBSADCheck Information: 0 : Root domain: *****.local
SBSADCheck Information: 0 : There are 0 trust relationships.
SBSADCheck Information: 0 : There are 0 child domains.
SBSADCheck Information: 0 : There are 69 users
SBSADCheck Information: 0 : There are 73 devices

I was reading that the install will allow only a maximum of 75 users and devices. We have 60 users, and 60 computers on the network (the extra ones are old computer accounts which havent been deleted yet). This wouldnt be stopping it would it?

Any help would be greatly appreicated.

Hi there,

Thanks for your replies. The server is definatley on the domain. Also using the domain admin account to do the install. Also, I have tried the logging, and the log file that was in the Original post is the outcome. It has me really confused as to why it wont install!
