• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Problems installing Plesk

Installing Plesk 8.1 on an uninstalled version of Plesk.

When I get to the part of the installation to set the password for the default administrator account, I get a message.

"Unable to create Plesk administrotr user 'admin' at the external MSSQL server 'localhost' with error: the server principal 'admin'..."


that is all it gives me. Any ideas?
 
Update: that message I was getting is because the admin login was already created.

It will not let me create the admin account in SQL server. Seems to be an administrative issue, but I have added every possible role to the sa account, and it still doesn't work.

Here is the new eror message, I just wish it would give me more information.

"Unable to create Plesk administrotr user 'admin' at the external MSSQL server 'localhost' with error: User, group, or role 'admin''..."


When I get to this part, it does add 'admin' as a user in SQL Server. No roles or permissions are created though for that account.
