Hi all,

I don't know that this is the proper group for my question of not.

I am trying to install Office Communications Server 2007 on a x64 windows
2003 SP2 and SQL server 2005 SP1. The installation is failed by this error:

Failed to create SQL database. This could be due to lack of file system
permissions for the SQL Server service account or insufficient disk space

There are 60GB free space and I a logged into the server with domain
administrator username.

Any would be appreciated.

You should ask this in a group related to Office Communications Server 2007. This software
apparently executes a CREATE DATABASE command and this command fails. Can you control where it tries
to place the database files, for instance.

As for the account in question:
It is irrelevant who *you* are logged in as. what matter is the service account for the SQL Server
service.

You will need to ensure that the account which the SQL Server service is
running under has full control over the default database folder and the
default log folder. You can see what these folders are by connecting to the
SQL Server using the object explorer window of SQL Management Studio, then
right clicking on the server and selecting properties. In the database pain
the default paths will be shown.
