Sql 2016 permissions issue
Setting up mcafee epo server.
Tried with sql express 2016. No issues using Windows auth
Now building it for real.
Install sql 2016 std on my server. My own account is sys admin. I can log on to management tools, create an odbc etc so my account works. But when I’m installing epo. It says I need to use an account with sys admin. I do have sys admin. Has been rebooted etc
If I change epo to use sql authentication. It works fine.
What might be going on ? I know you can use Windows auth for epo. (Preferred for our environment )
Sql 2016 standard.
Windows 2012 r2
Mcafee docs are a bit thin on sql but I match all there criteria.

No. It's windows auth only
My windows account added as a login. With sysadmin role
But if I change to mixed mode and use the sa account. The set up of epo works fine.

Kindly verify whether it is not working only with your Windows Login or for any other Windows Login as well..
If it works for some other Windows Login, then we can filter out that its a problem with your login, if not working for any Windows Login, then we can finalize that..

It says I need to use an account with sys admin. I do have sys admin
Even though you have stated that your account has sysadmin rights, both lcohan and myself have pointed you in the right direction to double check whether your account has sysadmin rights or not..
If you wish to go ahead and delete the question, no issues..

Not the same thing. I do have sysadmin. The role within sql.
I'm talking about local admin in windows. By adding that it all works.
We have other builds. And my account gets put in local administrators by gpo. So not come across this before.
Just in a staging ou.

Is that normal. By the way to have to be in local admins.
Not sure if it's done here by luck or by design.
Thank you for replying though

User error :-)
2. In case it was installed with "Mixed Authentication" - is your "My own account is sys admin" and AD login or local Windows login?
