How do I verify installation requirements in Maximo 7.5 install? - windows-server-2008

I am trying to install an Admin Workstation with a demo database for Maximo 7.5 on Windows Server 2008 R2.
I downloaded two files, 1) MAM_LAUNCHPAD_7.5_EIMG_1_OF_2_REF.zip and 2) MAM_LAUNCHPAD_7.5_EIMG_2_OF_2_REF.zip .
I extracted the contents into the same folder and ran launchpad64 as Administrator.
When I click on Verify installation requirements, I get an error in the command prompt box that says:
CTGIN8125E : Administrative priviliges are required to execute this script.
Please any key to continue . . .
I believe it has to do with running cscript.exe that is normally in c:
\windows\system32
My security role is Domain User, but was able to add myself in the Administrators role. I would think with Administrators role, I would have full privileges.
I have the video of some the steps I performed here

Create a local user on the server
Give that local user Administrator role
Log locally into the server as that local user: server\local_user
right click on launchpad64 as run as Administrator
You should be able to Verify installation requirements now.

partial user name upon installation of SQL Server 2017 Developer Edition

I'm in the process of setting up a new laptop for application development work and today I installed SQL Server 2017 Developer Edition on this computer. I used the Basic install option rather than the Customize install option. Some pertinent facts:
operating system is Windows 10
device name is MARIGOLD
administrator on this computer is an e-mail address and the characters that appear before the # symbol for the e-mail are knot22
When the confirmation screen was displayed after installing SQL Server, it showed the SQL Administrator as MARIGOLD\knot2 (see red line that points this out in screenshot). Notice that there is a 2 missing - was was expected was MARIGOLD\knot22. Why did it chop off the user name? Is there a way to fix this?
Your username on the computer is "knot2".
This may not match the display name.
The following procedure will lose all stored credentials. You may lose program data, bookmarks contact lists... as well as some file permissions
The easiest way to solve this is to:
Create a temporary admin account, Grant the account all privileges in SQL Server.
Login as that user.
Backup the entire C:\users\knot2 directory(including hidden and system files). You may have to reboot to do this.
Delete the "knot2" user.
Create "knot22" user.
Grant the "knot22" account all privileges in SQL Server.
Copy the backup of C:\users\knot2 into C:\users\knot22
Remove or disable the temporary user.
It is up to you to figure out if it is worth it or not.

Is “HANA database master” user the SYSTEM user?

I installed HANA Express in a VMware Workstation environment, and also Eclipse 4.6 with the HANA administrator plugin. Both VMWare and Eclipse run on Windows 10. I can start HANA with no issues, however when I try to connect from the Eclipse plugin the connection fails.
The tutorial to configure the HANA administrator plugin in Eclipse instructs to enter SYSTEM as user and then a password. The problem is that in the HANA Express tutorial the only user that seems to be set up is the "database master" (see text below). Therefore, I don't have the SYSTEM password and I don't know the "database master" user (even though I know the password). How to make this work?
Step 3: Startup: Configuration Script
A configuration script will run if this is the first login. When prompted
for HANA database master password, enter a strong password.
Tip: Make a note of this password, since you’ll need it later. You can enter
the same password you used earlier, or a new password. If you are entering a
new password, see the password rules earlier in this tutorial.
XSA_ADMIN
XSA_DEV
XSA_SHINE
TEL_ADMIN
When prompted to Confirm “HANA database master password”, enter the strong
password again.
This is the error I get in Eclipse log:
The SYSTEM password is the same as the master database password for HXE. If that does not work, try HXEHana1
Also, I see you are trying to connect to instance number 00. If the HXE VM is 2.0 sps00 or higher, the default instance number is 90.
You can rule out connectivity problems by running the following from the Virtual Machine's console:
hdbsql -n localhost -i 90 -d SYSTEMDB -u SYSTEM
This will connect to your instance and prompt for the password for user SYSTEM so you can confirm which one is right before configuring HANA Studio.
I had the same issue.
I used user : XSA_ADMIN and the HANA password chosen as part of the tutorial.
Its now connected.

Installing Teamcity build agent as a user: failed to install the service. selected account does not have enough rights

I want to install a TeamCity BuildAgend as a user. When entering my user credentials here:
I always get this error:
NOTE: My account (user) is Administrator with full permission!
How can I do this?
The error message says it does not have "enough rights to run as a service",
this is slightly different from just being an administrator.
Go to Control Panel> Administrative Tools> Local Security Policy.
Select Local Policies> User Rights Assignment.
Scroll down through the list of policies and look for Log on as a service.
Add the account you're using to the list of accounts with this right.
That should in theory be all you need to allow the service to run under that user.
The best powershell command that I have found for this is:
Grant-Privilege -Identity $SERVICE_USERNAME -Privilege SeServiceLogonRight
Requires use of the Carbon framework.
I'm a Windows 10 Home user and the steps above did not work for me, but the following did:
Enable gpedit.msc by running the batch file as explained here under Method 1: https://www.askvg.com/how-to-enable-group-policy-editor-gpedit-msc-in-windows-7-home-premium-home-basic-and-starter-editions/
Run gpedit.msc
Go to Local Computer Policy / Computer Configuration / Windows Settings / Security Settings / Local Policies / User Rights Assignment
Double-click Log on as a service
On the window that appears, click Add User or Group...
Enter your username and click the Check Names button
Your name will be modified, adding the machine name as the prefix. Click OK
Click OK on the Log on as a service Properties window to apply the change.
It is a little bit of a pain, but after doing that, I was able to continue installing TeamCity

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio trouble with permissions

Please find all the files I'm refering to at this link:
http://whyisthisinmyfood.com/sql/
I have installed a new copy of "SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio Express (x86)" on two Windows 7 computers. The SAME install file for both computers. Installed the same way. (as far as I know, I chose the same options)
One at home and one at work.
The one at home seems to work perfectly I "Execute" this file (ITD132-Inventory Initial with data.sql) and it works fine. When I "Execute" it at work I get:
Msg 262, Level 14, State 1, Line 1
CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'.
..and a bunch of stuff after that which is caused because the database was not created in the first place.
I have compared the permissions on both computers.
see these files:
home computer : non-networked.jpg
work computer: work-networked.jpg
I read in one post that to create new Logins one must be logged in as the Administrator. I log into the Server Managment studio with my windows credentials and I am the Local Admin for my work computer and I have not been able to find any other place to log in as an administrator for this SQL Server Management Studio (so clearly I'm not sure whats meant by that)
At this point I think my problem is that I need to create a user who is not just the "BUILTIN\User" (because this login does not have permissions) with permissions.
But I have no idea how to login as an administrator to create this user role.
Please forgive me if these are obvious answers as I am just starting with this MS Management studio and am not very familiar with T-SQL.
Thanks,
Diana
If you install SQL Server, you get asked during installation process which user or user group should have the Admin-Privileges. If your computer is part of a domain and you login locally, things might get complicated.
The easiest (but not safest way) to login as a "superuser" if to enable the "sa" user.
this is one user that logs on with a password (not integrated logon) and has all the juice to run every script possible :-) By default it's disabled - googling I found a easy how-to enable it:
http://sudeeptaganguly.wordpress.com/2010/04/20/how-to-enable-sa-account-in-sql-server/
I think you are correct that you need to create another user with enough permission. Generally logging in with "integrated security" using your Windows credentials should have enough permissions (assuming the same user is the user that installed SQL Server). If not, you have better luck logging in as the SQL Server user "sa" (system administrator) which should have full permission. Do you know the "sa" password?
Note: the security mode for SQL Server can be set to "Only integrated security with Windows users", "SQL Server security" or "both". The "sa" account will only work if the SQL Server security is enabled. You may be able to access these settings using your BuiltIn\User account.

User '' does not have required permissions, SSRS 2008 on Windows 8

When you try to log into SSRS's root site at http:// (servername)/Reports it displays:
User '' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed.
This is on a 64 bit edition of Windows 8 Pro, running SQL Server 2008 enterprise. Everything should be using the local system as the account of execution.
I have tried changing the execution account as my user which is admin, I have added the site as the trusted site, I have UAC turned completely off, I have tried to hit the site with IE AS ADMIN, Chrome, and Firefox. Everything I try the site states back that I don't have the rights. I go into SQL Server and ensure my roles are everything for my user. It does not care. I am currently reinstalling the SSRS node of the SQL Server install but am curious if anyone else had this issue yet.
I am going to try to change my account to a 'local' account as I am thinking that may be an issue yet I don't understand why SQL Server can recognize my login integrated just fine. Honestly I never ran into this and am wondering if this is an issue just with Windows 8 accessing SQL Server 2008. I would upgrade but I have a full version of SQL Server 2008 and not of 2012 so I am hesitant to just upgrade unless Express 2012 will come with Business Intelligence Development Studio and SSRS site with tools.
EDIT: 3-8-2016:
No answer with: "Just turn on site settings" is valid as this is the first time installing as the admin of the server or machine locally and not able to access the landing page as that admin.
No answer with: "Just run IE as admin" will work last I tested that.
Answers with "Trusted SITE settings MAY WORK" on Windows 8 and higher as I had a similar problem to this with Windows 10 and on Windows 10 it did fix it. I am not going to rollback two OS versions to check at home though, sorry.
I don't get how this question can be existing for a while and people are now on a mission to claim it is duplicate when the very answer is different than the potential duplicate. That whole thread deals with someone able to get into the site with elevated permission and just not setting up roles and users after the fact. This is the main user of the machine not getting to the landing page as an admin to the site listed as the default landing. Not even the same ballpark. Getting into a page as an admin to let local users in versus the highest level God user not getting in is not the same.
Everything in this answer is true but don't reinstall all of SSRS thats nonsense...
Windows 8
Disable UAC
Enable Administrator Account (You can go to Control Panel > Computer Management > Users)
Restart PC
Run IE ad Administrator when prompted login with your local Administrator account you enabled.
You will need to adjust site settings security and folder settings security. Easy fast fix just add "Everyone" in both of those with full rights.
Problem solved!
I ran into the same issue myself but with Windows 7 and SQL Server 2008. I resolved the issue following the instructions from Suresh Kumar's blog post at http://skamie.wordpress.com/2010/06/24/ssrs-and-uac/
In a nutshell here are the steps you need to take to resolve this issue:
Start your browser using 'run as Administrator'.
Navigate to the report manager and under Site Settings -> Security assign your account or the local administrators group to the System Administration role.
Then navigate to the home folder and under the security settings assign your account or the local administrators group to the Browser, Conent Manager, My Reports, Publisher and Report Builder roles.
Now you should be able to run your browser as normal and access SSRS without any issues.
Okay this is really annoying what needed to be done but here goes.
From what I kept reading Windows 8 does not by default enable the default administrator account.
I usually don't use this account but in this case I was desperate as my account could not get in.
I understand ONCE YOU ARE IN you can set the site settings, that does not help if you cannot even see the site's main landing page to see that setting.
The steps I took to finally resolve were;
Uninstall SSRS Node COMPLETELY by going to control panel>SQL Server 2008>Remove>Check Reporting Services
Enable default admin account: command prompt>run as administrator>net user administrator p#ssw0rD, hit enter.
New line: net user administrator /active:yes
Reboot
Reinstall SSRS from disc with logging in as default administrator
Install SP3 as administrator
Go to IE.exe DIRECTLY in Windows 8: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe>Run as administrator.
Go to http:// (servername)/Reports
You SHOULD now be able to finally see site settings. NOW YOU CAN FOLLOW everyone's directions of adding YOUR USER under site settings. Also go to folder permissions and add the user as a default here as well.
(optional) For safety I would hide the default admin account now by using step 2 but substitute /active:no in.
If your main admin can't open the door, no one is getting in. That was the main issue I was having. My default admin could not get in. Now everything is working fine and dandy like it should with deploying from BIDS as well.
I had the same problem on my Windows 8 system (32 bit) with SQL Server 2008R2. When I started IE using 'run as Administrator' it still asked for a user name and password and resulted in "user does not have permissions"-error when I entered my user name and password. This is what fixed it for me:
I disabled UAC in the registry (Set HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\EnableLUA to 0). I first set notify-level under Control Panel | System and Security | Change User Account Control to the lowest level but that didn't make any difference.
After reboot I started IE using 'run as Administrator'. Went to Report Manager | Site Settings | Security: added my account as System administrator.
Still in Report Manager I went to Home | Folder Settings and added my account with role Content Manager.
I enabled UAC through Control Panel | System and Security | Change User Account Control settings by setting it to default level again. (Reboot required)
When I run IE as Administrator now and supply my user name and password it does show the homepage of the report manager.
Run Internet Explorer as administrator (right click on the Taskbar icon)
Step 1 :: Add your local username to the Site Settings security roles page. (Security - System Administrator)
Step 2 :: Add your local username to the Folder Settings on the home page. (Select Content Manager)
Close the Administrator IE session.
Open IE in normal mode under your user account.
Windows 8.1
I resolved this with help from the answer by Austin McLaughlin posted earlier. In my case I had been logged in with a local account that had administrator privileges, but attempting to http://127.0.0.1/Reports (hearinafter referred to as "the Reporting Services Manager") produced the error reported by the OP.
The key for me was that the Administrator account was disabled by default in my Windows 8.1 laptop. Note that I did not originally have Windows 8.1 Pro, so there was no "Local Users and Groups" under "Computer Management". Thus, I had to purchase the Windows 8.1 Pro Pack online from MS for $100.
In Windows Explorer, right click on the Computer node and select "Manage".
Navigate to Local Users and Groups > Users
Right click on Administrator and select Properties
De-select "Account is disabled"
Restart PC
Log in to the PC as Administrator (I did not have to enter a password for the Administrator account on first login.)
From the desktop, run IE. No need to run as Administrator, of course, since you logged in as Administrator.
Navigate to the Reporting Services Manager.
At this point you should be logged in to the Report Administrator and on the Home screen. I had not been able to get this far before.
On the Home screen, click "New Role Assignment"
In "Group or user name", enter the local administrator account you use for development; i.e.: [yourmachine]\[username]
Select all the checkboxes (shortcut is to click the checkbox to the left of "Role") and click OK.
In the upper right hand side of the page, click Site Settings.
On the left side of the page, click Security.
Click "New Role Assignment"
In "Group or user name" enter the same account as in step 10
Check "System Administrator" checkbox and click OK
As a precaution, disable the Administrator account that you enabled in step 4.
Log out, then back in with your local account from step 10.
In IE, browse to the Reporting Services Manager. Note: It was not necessary for me to start IE as Administrator.
At this point you should be able to access Reporting Services Manager page, and configure reporting services further.
Change service account type as "Network Service" in service account tab then stop and start service and run IE as Administrator.
From Reporting Services Configuration Manager you can get to the node Report Manager Url. The URL works from this screen. Now you can use the Folder Settings to add yourself as a Content Manager, etc... Now the url will work for your user.
In IE, just add Add the reporting services website to "Local intranet" sites.
That's it.
Just open IE as Run As Administrator and just type URL as http://localhost/reports
