I got the below error during Sharepoint 2013 configuration
in Standalone mode on a Windows
Server 2012. SharePoint 2013 Installation was successful. This happened while
the configuration wizard was running and I think it was on step 8, the configuration
failed and I got the below error.
Configuration
Failed
One
or more configuration settings failed. Completed configuration settings will
not be rolled back. Resolve the problem and run this configuration wizard
again. The following contains detailed information about the failure:
Failed
to create sample data.
An
exception of type System.ArgumentException was thrown. Additional exception
information: The SDDL string contains an invalid sid or sid that cannot be
translated.
Parameter
name: sddlForm
To
diagnose the problem, review the application event log and the configuration
log file located at:
C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server
Extensions\15\LOGS\PSCDiagnostics %%%%%%%%.log
How
to fix this
1) Check if the account used for installing SharePoint 2013
has dbcreator and security admin permission in SQL Server.
2) Browse to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office
Servers\15.0\Data\Office Server" and find the folder that starts with
Analytics_GUID.
3) Right-click -> Properties ->Sharing ->Advanced
Sharing. Check the "Share this folder' check box and click on Permissions.
4) Granted full access to everyone.
5) Added WSS_ADMIN_WPG to the sharing with
full access.
6) Ran the SharePoint 2013 Products Configuration Wizard
again and this completed successfully.

Thanks for the Post. This post helped me when I setup my VM SharePoint 2013.
ReplyDeleteThanks - clean solution - this worked
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly did you do in step 5?
ReplyDeleteCheers
What exactly did you do in step 5?
ReplyDeleteIn my case I checked that folder and WSS_ADMIN_WPG already had permissions.
ReplyDeleteWindows Server 2012 the folder is here
ReplyDeleteC:\Program Files\Windows SharePoint Services\15.0
Oh wow! You can't imagine how frustrated I was with this issue till I found your blog! I came across another issue as well where in the same step, it reported that the SecureTokenServiceApplication (WCF webservice hosted in IIS) was not available -- when I checked I found all the SharePoint app pools in stopped state, just had to start them up again.
ReplyDeleteFor those who are curious about Step 5, just click the ADD button on that same permissions screen and add the user account WSS_ADMIN_WPG. Once you are back to the list of accounts with the permissions, check ON the "Full Access".
