Maarten writes "Hello,

I've tried to complete the SQL Server full-text indexing wizard, so I can use 'contains' in my queries. But every time I try to complete the wizard and it actually tries to start creating the indexing table, I get the message:

'The Microsoft search service cannot be administered under the present user account'

I guess the 'present user account' is the Windows account I'm using... and that's an Administrator account. I gave my windows account all rights to all the databases and the ownership of the table but that won't work either...

Do you have a solution?

SQLsrv ver: 8.00.194 service pack 1
OS: WinXP service pack 1

Thanks in advance!"

Are you using the local system account for your SQL Server services? If so, you should change them to a domain account that has local admin privileges.
