SQL Server (dbname) service won’t start after promoting the server to a domain controller
When you promote your windows member server to a domain controller the SQL Server (dbname) service won’t start anymore.
The system event log notes error even id: 7024 “The SQL Server (dbname) service terminated with service-specific error 17113 (0x42D9).”
Solution: This is because the SQL Server (dbname) service is started under the local system account, this doesn’t work on a domain controller. Start the service under a user account with enough rights.
