The account doesn't need to be a domain admin, but it does need the ability to connect to SQL.  Are you able to login to SQL Management studio and go through the motions of creating a database?  If not then you're account doesn't have the right permissions.  They must have db_creator at a minimum.

Oh, probably this is the root cause.

I appreciate! Steve 

I'll try it again follow by this way. Can I get back to you if I have any more problems?

      Hi Steve,

      I am trying to create the database in Microsoft Sql 2016 by using this domain user( Houston\Ch******)

      But it give me the error message "RPC server is unavailable".Then, I search this error message in google and there is no effective solution. Do you know the reason of this problem?

       

      Best

    The installation is trying to create a configuration database. The account which is used for installation should have db_creator permissions on the SQL. Can you validate if the user who is trying to perform installation has db_creator access to the SQL?
