  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS.

Problems installing Plesk

Installing Plesk 8.1 on an uninstalled version of Plesk.

When I get to the part of the installation to set the password for the default administrator account, I get a message.

"Unable to create Plesk administrotr user 'admin' at the external MSSQL server 'localhost' with error: the server principal 'admin'..."


that is all it gives me. Any ideas?
 
Update: that message I was getting is because the admin login was already created.

It will not let me create the admin account in SQL server. Seems to be an administrative issue, but I have added every possible role to the sa account, and it still doesn't work.

Here is the new eror message, I just wish it would give me more information.

"Unable to create Plesk administrotr user 'admin' at the external MSSQL server 'localhost' with error: User, group, or role 'admin''..."


When I get to this part, it does add 'admin' as a user in SQL Server. No roles or permissions are created though for that account.
