How do I change a local install of NW 7 to a domain install (X64 & SQL)

[Former Member]

So I was following my notes and it said to log into the server under the administrator to install the NW7 platform. So I did but I logged in as the local Administrator and not the domain Administrator which I have now found this is wrong for our environment.

I have almost a fully configured Development system and I really can't afford to uninstall and reinstall under the domain admin.

From comparing a Domain install to a local install I see I need to

if a have local users pedadm & SAPServicePED (being PED is the system)

I need to create domain users with these names and the same password

create a NT Group SAP_PED_GlobalAdmin

Add the domain group SAP_PED_GlobalAdmin to the new domain users

On the server where the system is installed changed the

SAPOsCol to use the domain pedadm account

SAPPED_00 to use the domain SAPServicePED account

In SQL Server add the 2 new domain accounts and make them both sysadmins and make their home database the system database (in this case PED)

So at this stage all the Windows /SQL config is all done but how do I tell SAP to use the domain accounts and not the local account. I would suspect there is at least a database string her somewhere.

Can anyone help with the last bit.

In the end the missing parts where

Delete old users from SQL Server (DO NOT DELETE THE SYSTEM USER FROM SQL SERVER)

Add the new domain users to the local administrator group of the server running the SAP system.

I think, you have almost done. Are you able to start the system ?, is it coming up ?
