SQL Server Installation – Non Canonical DACL Error
I have been approached by my colleagues I used to work previous to previous employer. Two of my ex-Colleagues currently working as System Engineers contacted and looking for information if I have seen the error during SQL Server Installation.
The error is “Setup has detected a non canonical discretionary access control list (DACL)”
They both have been working for last couple of hours and ready to build a new server but thought about giving me a call one time.
So I did Team Viewer into one of the Engineer machine and looked at the error. And started looking on web regarding the error. After 5 minutes I was not able to find anything solid but just some permission issue on some of the folders. But none of the fixes worked.
I am aware that SQL does not uninstall cleanly, so it leave the Microsoft SQL Server folders and some Registry keys behind.
So Steps to fix the problem are as follows
- Uninstall SQL Server
- Restart Server
- Rename or Remove Microsoft SQL Server folders from C:\Program Files\
- Re-Install SQL Server
So simple approach and it works.
Hope to hear from you soon, if or not it worked for you as well.
