Hi,

I am trying to install Workspace Streaming on W2k3 SP2. It fails when I choose to install PostGres as the database.
Options selected:

WinINSTALL DAS 10 and WPS 7 Full-2009-10-09-11-09-20.png

It then fails creating the user account:

WinINSTALL DAS 10 and WPS 7 Full-2009-10-09-11-09-40.png

Cheers.

It seems that Postgres

It seems that Postgres doesn't like installing onto domain controllers. I removed the domain controller role and it installed successfully.
This was a basic W2K3 SP2 Standard Edition installation, and I was logged on as administrator. I can't see why this would cause Postgres any problems.
In the Workspace Streaming guide it says:

If you choose PostgreSQL as your internal database, and Symantec
Workspace Streaming is installed on the domain controller machine, then
select New user account. Specify the domain name instead of the computer
name.
The option to create a new user account is recommended. However, if you
choose to use an existing account, ensure that the account is not a member
of the "administrator" or "power user" group.

I never had the option to specify the domain instead of the computer name. I know this is a PostGres problem and not Workspace Streaming, but maybe someone out here has come across this problem.

Cheers.

What have Symantec done to this install???

OK, so I got around this by installing onto a non-domain controller server. Then the Installshield installation failed for some reason, and I was forced to run setup.exe from the temporary directory that is created in %TEMP%\Disk1\Server. Now the Streaming Server service will not start because it says the eval license file that is provided has expired.
I can't believe I'm the only one to have had these problems.
