SCCM SMS Provider Install Permissions Issue

Copper Contributor

Hello,

 

I have two 2019 Datacenter servers that are clustered with 2019 MSSQL. I am attempting to install SCCM on one of the nodes.

 

During the install you have to provide a SMS server you want the SMS provider to be installed on.

 

It cannot be a server in a SQL cluster. So I built a third server just for SMS.

 

When I provide the SMS server I want the SMS provider installed on - I get a permissions error. It states I must have local administrator privileges on the SMS server in order to install SMS provider.

 

The account I used is a domain admin account and the domain admin group is in the administrators group on the SMS server. I even added the account directly to the administrators group.

 

I tried running the installer as administrator and the domain admin account.

 

Below is a screenshot.

 

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I am at a loss.

I disabled the firewall on the SMS server and I was able to continue the install. Trying to figure out what port needs to be enabled before I continue.

Needed to enable File and Printer Sharing (SMB-IN) in the firewall. This is solved
