Authentication / Password Issue installing MR 2012

This question has suggested answer(s)

Database configuration: The password could not be validated against the password policy.

The same password worked in UAT/TEST/DEV for those service accounts.  The only difference in PROD is the DB Server is NOT local on the Management Reporter server where teh services will be installed.  Could this be a Kerberos issue.

    Basically:

    The password validate function that is used during the Management Report installation tries to connect to the RPC Endpoint Mapper service on the SQL server (port 135).

    If that is successful, the RPC Endpoint Manager will provide the Management Reporter installer with a port number from the range of dynamics ports on the SQL server. The installer will

    then try to connect to the SQL server using that port. If either of these connection attempts fail, you will receive the password validation error.

    So you may need to open port 135 to RPC and start the RPC locator service.
