I'm getting the error below on the screen where I'm supposed to select a database login for the upgrade to 2005. I've tried using my own AD account (I'm a sysadmin in SQL Server and a local admin on the RS server), the SQL Server service account, and the sa user, and none of them works. Any ideas?



TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Setup
------------------------------

SQL Server Setup requires administrator permissions for the upgraded SQL Server instance. To continue, log in with an administrator account.

In case anybody runs into this, I called Microsoft and they never figured it out. I ended up doing a migration instead of an upgrade.

Not unusual. It happens to the OS too, sometimes.
