New Post: Running AutoSPInstaller multiple times

Ivan, Thanks for the response. I am surprised that AutoSPInstaller can be re-run multiple times and I am running into these issues. I don't know what would be different on my system then what other people have. Just to set the stage a bit better: I am trying to install SharePoint 2013 on Server 2012 R2 with SQL 2014 also on Server 2012

When I try to rerun the scripts I get the following message:

---

Where as when I roll back to a snapshot after sharepoint was installed and is waiting to be configured I can get to the provisioning of the Service Applications. Where I get this message:

• Provisioning State Service Application...
• Creating State Service Application Proxy...

- Done creating State Service Application.

I really don't get why it is coming up since the Managed Services Account does exist and was used/validated earlier in the process.
