Bug #: 404955 (SQLBUDT)

SYMPTOMS

You add the full-text search service to an existing instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Community Technology Preview (CTP) 16 by using one of the following methods:
  • Microsoft Office Maintenance Mode
  • An upgrade installation of the full-text search service that is taken from an edition of SQL Server 2005 that is not SQL Server 2005 CTP.
When you do this, the full-text search service does not run under the domain account that is specified for SQL Server 2005 CTP.

CAUSE

This issue occurs because the full-text search service is installing under the LocalSystem account. However, SQL Server 2005 CTP is configured to use a non-LocalSystem account.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, you must change the full-text search service account after you have installed the full-text search service.

To change the full-text search service account, follow these steps:
  1. On the Start menu, point to Programs, click Microsoft SQL Server 2005 CTP, click Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Configuration Manager.
  2. Right-click the Full Text Search service.
  3. Select Properties.
  4. Type the new account information.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
