SQL Server 2019 installation Error on Domain Controller Server
Hello All,
I am getting the Error " SQL Server Browser service group does not exists. Check for earlier failures in the setup" while installing SQL Server in the Domain Controller Server. In other Server it is installed correctly but in the domain controller Server it is showing the above Error. We also tried by adding the following security group : SQLServer2008SQLBrowserUser${ServerName}SQLServer2005SQLBrowserUser${ServerName}
SQLServer2019SQLBrowserUser${ServerName}
But it does not work.
Error Photo is also attached.
Please suggest some solutions for this problem.

s_01496, it's really no good idea to install SQL Server on a DC, it's not really supported and do have several limitations; permissions & group creations are one of them.
- s_01496Copper Contributorolafhelper, Thank you for your reply. But I wanted to know whether it is possible to install SQL Server on domain controller or not. In the link you mentioned It says that "SQL Server Setup will not block installation on a computer that is a domain controller". It means that we can install SQL Server on domain controller then why in my case it is not allowing me to install.
