Good Evening,
I've been having an issue today whilst trying to install SQL Server 2012 to a newly built server running Windows Server 2012 R2. Whilst going through the 'Database Engine Configuration' where you assign parts of the installation to different directories.
We are trying a new method of installing each part of SQL to an SMB file share on our Netapp. After pointing each part of installation to a specific directory and pressing next I receive the error attached
I can see that it says that you need to give the SQL Server setup account the Manage Auditing and Security Log policy on the local policy console. I've gone to this policy and added myself (Local Administrator), The server itself, the SQL Server Agent account and also the database engine account. I have rebooted the server and tried again running the installation both as myself and Administrator but still get the same error. Please could someone help me with this issue.
Regards,
