Hello all,
I'm trying to install Autodesk Vault 2010 on a Windows Server 2003 R2 Domain Controller. I already pre-installed SQL Server 2005 with the AutodeskVault instance and had no issues. The problem I am having after clicking the Install button on the "Review - Configure - Install" screen is this:
"Please configure the following passwords. The password is invalid or does not meet password policy requirements:
Password for Windows user"
I'm using the default settings for the Windows user account. The default password for that account meets my domain's password complexity requirements. If I try to create the account in advance, the installation complains that the user account already exists. I think this issue is occurring because domain controllers do not have local accounts. I'm running the installation as a domain administrator. Demoting the server or installing AutodeskVault on another server aren't options for us because we are a small business with a budget. 🙂
Please offer any suggestions you may have.
Thanks!

Resolved.
The domain password policy settings were "not defined." I set them to my desired settings and the installation continued.
