Hi All,

i was up with an installtion of sql server 2005(SE), while the components were getting installed i was constantly being poped with the below message:"sql server failed to start", what i did was cross checked weather the accounts have the local admin priviledges they did have.. so i just thought of trying up with my account(which also has all privleges needed) it went on fine with the installtion. later i changed the service accounts to the one which were earlier getting failed its working fine now.

any thoughts why is the server behaving so strange?

i even installed reporting services along with other components,but I get this error when I try to connect to http://localhost/Reports:

"http error:404 page cannot be displayed"

but when i use http://localhost/Reportserver it works fine



its me monty
