Hi all,
I've got an unusual installation problem that maybe someone can help me with. A fresh install of CRM 2016 from the Visual Studio iso onto fresh machines, installed from the command line with a configuration XML. This also applies to a GUI install as well, by the way.
For reference, the SQL servers will be called "SQL", the SSRS one "Reporting" and two load-balanced front end servers will be called "NODE1" and "NODE2".
Installing from NODE1, with SQL and Reporting defined in either the XML or GUI, while doing the preinstallation validation steps, I get the error:
"SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)(SQLSERVERAGENT) service is not running on the server Node1"
Checking the installation logs:
06:49:38| Info| OrganizationInfo.BaseCurrencySymbol: $
06:49:38| Info| OrganizationInfo.OperationTypeProperty: None
06:49:38| Info| OrganizationInfo.OrganizationCollation: Latin1_General_CI_AS

06:49:38| Info| OrganizationInfo.SqlServerNameObject: Microsoft.Crm.Setup.Server.Utility.SqlServerNames
06:49:38| Info| ProductInfo.InstallingLanguage: 1033
And yet, I also see the error:
06:49:40| Info| Check W3svcServiceValidator: Success
06:49:40| Info| Check NTAuthenticationProvidersValidator: Success
06:49:40| Info| Group Microsoft SQL Server

06:49:40| Info| Check SandboxServiceSettingServicePrincipalNameValidator: Skipped
06:49:40| Info| Check AsyncServiceSettingServicePrincipalNameValidator: Skipped
I've tried a GUI installation, as well as command line XML. I normally use c-name DNS records for the SQL and Reporting server, but I've also tried direct a-records. This occurs on both the new servers, which have no relation, other than copying the same source files. I'm in the process of downloading more media, but I've used this media successfully in the past.
This is a new one for me - any ideas?
