Hi there,
I have a server windows server 2008 R2 standard.
While doing an Enterprise to Standard downgrade, I have removed enterprise edition of SQL Server 2008, rebooted and while installing standard edition, I get the below error saying "You SQL server 2008 installation completed with failures. Some or all identity references could not be translated"
Bit of background. This server has another express instance of SQL Server 2008. I have used local system account, network service as well as our general SQL service account, but I get the error towards the end of the installation and it fails saying “Some or all identity references could not be translated.”
I am installing a named instance with the same name as before but fails. I have tried creating a test instance that fails too. Any ideas? I have also run the clean up utility but no joy.
Cheers
Faltaf
