Thread: PostgreSQL 8 on Win2003 AD server

I guess this is not possible? The installer cannot find the postgres
user, which is in the Active Directory. It is a Win 2003 Ent server used
here for testing things. Can someone point me to the docs for
requirements of the PostreSQL install on Windows?

So, from what I see, it should run under Windows 2003. I have Active
Directory installed, does it matter? If I create the user 'postgres' it
complains that it cannot find it. If I remove it and tell the installer
to create, it says it cannot create it. Any thoughts?

There is a known issue with installations on Domain Controllers. See
pgfoundry tracker item at
http://pgfoundry.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1000096&group_id=
1000007&atid=126.

You can get through part of it by specifying DOMAIN\username, but there
may be further issues down the road from there.

If this doesn't work, you can install it *without* installing as a
service. Then create the account and register it manually using "pg_ctl
register". The issue is only in the installer, not in postgresql itself.
