I am trying to install MOSS 2007. This computer already had MOSS2007 installed, we had to uninstall MOSS2007 and install it again (for various reasons).
When we install MOSS2007, the installation completed fine but the Sharepoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard runs into the following problem in Step 2.
Why does it not work? What is the root cause/solution?
PS: I have SQL Server 2005 already installed on the machine.
The error message is as follows -
Failed to create the configuration database
An exception of type System.Security.Principal.IdentityNotMappedException was thrown. Additional exception information: Some or all identity references could not be translated.
The eventviewer has the stack trace -
