Win2003 SP3, Sql Server 2005 SP2 trying to patch to SP3 with a Report Writer failure.
Hello all,
I have a Windows 2003 32-bit SP3 server with SQL Server 2005 Standard SP2. I am trying to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 SP3.
When trying to run SQLServer 2005SP3-KB955706-x86-ENU.e
"Account Information Verification
Your account information could not be verified. ...For setup to verify your credentials the services must be startable, connectable, and you must be a SQL Server administrator"
OK, ok..now I know you're thinking "DUH!" ..but please bear with me...
I am a hardware/OS person. My dba 'says' that the local administrator has the rights...to what? Don't as me!
The SQL services are running under the domain\administrator. The install will let me choose between the local\administrator or an SQL account. The Database Services authenticate via the local\administrator account. The Report Writer fails authentication on the local\administrator account as well as the sa account.
The Report Writer (as far as I know..has not been utilized at all)...
Mgmt will not allow for me to uninstall the Report Writer because it may be used in the future.
If the solution is within the SQL... please please please be detailed because I am a hardware/OS person who is going to have to speak SQL DBA to a DBA...

Someone had keyed in an incorrect Report Server name. Fixing that, and changing the service account fixed the issue. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, GL.
