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.

I've run into the same thing when I use an install account that isn't a SysAdmin on SQL. If you're a SysAdmin I believe SharePoint is smart enough to change it for you, but I could be wrong.

What permissions does your account have on SQL?
