Adding STSAdminAcct to Other Servers (Windows SharePoint Services 2.0)

  • Article

Administrators can use the STSAdminAcct domain account created in the previous steps to install and configure Windows SharePoint Services on the front-end Web servers and servers running SQL Server. The account must be given the necessary permissions on the front-end Web servers and the servers running SQL Server.

On every Web server, make the STSBETA\STSAdminAcct a member of the local Administrators group.

On every server running SQL Server, create an account for STSBETA\STSAdminAcct and make it a member of the following two SQL Server server roles:

  • Security Administrators

  • Database Creators

After these steps are complete, administrators can log on to the front-end Web servers by using the STSAcminAcct account and complete the setup and configuration steps as described in the following sections.
