Troubleshoot
When installing the MS SQL Server 2005 Express component in a Windows
Server (2003 or 2008) environment, you might get the following error
message: "
The sa password must meet SQL Server password policy
requirements.
"
This is because either:
The domain-enforced policy is preventing the installer from setting the SA
user's password, or
The local security policy is preventing the installer from setting the
password
You can temporarily disable this policy while the installation is running and
click Retry to let the installation complete successfully. After installation is
finished, you can restore the policy to the desired setting.
If you are on a Domain Controller, check the Domain Controller security
settings first:
If the setting is set on a domain controller, you may need to run GPU date
to force the changes to propagate.
