Commented Issue: max degree of parallelism [19461]

During Setup of the Configuration Database, the Script ran into the error "max degree of parallelism". This can be configured as described in this TechNet Article:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189094.aspx

Isn't this a good thing that can be set by the script itself?

Cheers,
Alex


New-SPConfigurationDatabase : This SQL Server instance does not have the required "max degree of parallelism" setting
of 1. Database provisioning operations will continue to fail if "max degree of parallelism" is not set 1 or the
current account does not have permissions to change the setting. See documentation for details on manually changing
the setting.

Thank you for the replies. I go with what Brian wrote.

I installed SP with an account called SPAdmin with SQL rights "SecurityAdmin" and "DB_Creator" on the DB instance.

I do not want to give the user more permissions to the SQL server so I prefer to set this setting myself before starting the installation.

So everything is fine for me. My installation worked very well with SP2013 and the creation of most common services like UserProfile, Search and Managed MetaData. I just added the March CU and this also worked well despite some minor warnings durin installation. Great stuff this tool! Thanks alot!
