Problem:

Today we are trying to install SQL Server 2012, we are getting Rule ‘Setup Account privileges’ Failed error. In this article I will explain how to resolve this issue. 

ERROR: 

When i clicked on ‘failed’ hyperlink , hear the message.

Reason: 

The account that is running SQL Server setup does not have one are all of the following Local group policy permissions. 

1. Back up files and directories.
2. Debug process.
3. Mange auditing and security log.

So i added the user to this group.

Step 1:  Click Windows key+R  >  gpedit.msc > click OK

Step 2: Navigate to Local Computer Policy > Windows settings > Security Settings > Local Policies> User Rights Assignment

Step 3 : Click  Back up file and directories > add the user to this group> Apply> OK.

Step 4:  In the same location locate ‘Debug programs’ > add the user to this group> Apply> OK.

Step 5: In the same location locate ‘Mange auditing and security log’>add the user to this group> Apply> OK.

Step 6: Log off the system and login. Now Try again and installation completed successfully.
