Well, it is from pginstaller. It usually means that the SAM somehow lost sync. This can happen in a domain environment, haven't seen it anywhere else. It usually works if you just restart the installation process having created the user account manually first. //Magnus
After struggling with this same problem for too long, I discovered that omitting the SERVICEDOMAIN value and letting the installer set it via default did the trick.=20 =20 Hope this helps someone else. =20 -Peter van der Maas =20 > > The following bug has been logged online: > >=20 > > Bug reference: 2182 > > Logged by: Anantha Prasad > > Email address: aprasad ( at ) fs ( dot ) fed ( dot ) us > > PostgreSQL version: 8.1.2-1 > > Operating system: Win2000 Prof > > Description: Internal account lookup failure: > > Details:=20 > >=20 > > I had not installed PostGreSQL on this computer before.=20 > When I use the=20 > > installer, it gives the foll. message and rolls back the=20 > installation. > >=20 > > "Internal account lookup failure: No mapping between=20 > account names and=20 > > security IDs was done." > >=20 > > Tried with other user names etc. but cannot proceed. >=20 > No idea --- that isn't our error message. =20 Well, it is from pginstaller.
