How should I use this SetSPN command when installing SharePoint
- by Paul Rowland
In the SharePoint install document I have it says,
If you use a domain user account for
the SQL Server service account, you
must make sure that a valid service
principal name (SPN) for that account
and instance of SQL Server on their
database server exists in their
environment. This is the case
regardless of whether you use NTLM or
Kerberos authentication for Office
SharePoint Server 2007.
You must configure the SPN for that
account in the domain using the
Setspn.exe command-line tool.
Setspn.exe is installed by default on
computers running Windows Server 2008.
Run the following command on a
computer that is joined to the same
domain as the user/service account.
setspn -a <http/<farmclusterdnsname> <serviceaccountname>
What should the parameters be in this case?
I guess the serviceaccountname would be 'domain\username'
not sure what the first parameter should be though.
This is the technet link for SetSPN.
