Local Security Handling for SAP Installation Server

[Former Member]

We are looking at installing SAP gui for windows 7.20 using the installation server. While trying to configure the local security handling I am getting the message on the final step

"failed to configure local security handling (LSH) could not store IS user data"

I have only found one log file called ServerRecord.xml, the entry does not give any more infomation

<ActivityName>LSH Configuration</ActivityName>

<ActivityDescription>Administrator attempted to configure Local Security Handling</ActivityDescription>

<DateTime>13/05/2010 12:16</DateTime>

<ActivityStatus>Failure</ActivityStatus>

<ErrorDescription>Could not store IS user data.</ErrorDescription>

</Activity>

<Activity>

Can anyone tell me where I may find some more infomation/documentation on the problem.

Thanks

When SAP GUI installation server for Distribution Service (DS), we have not created the service with the error "could not store IS user data"

WinAPI regcreatekeyex error code 0x00000005 (5)

Reason - Windows security policy

No running Remote Registry service, and apply the policy to restrict access through Remote Registry functions (such as through a network).

During the creation of the DS service through NWSapSetupAdmin program performs a function call through the Remote Registry (such as through a network, but for some reason, I do not know).

To solve the problem, it is necessary to temporarily remove the policy, or to correct them.

To do this

1) rename the registry path

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurePipeServers\Winreg

to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurePipeServers\Winreg_back

2)Restart service Remote Registry.

3)Re-run the installer for the DS setting.

4) (optional) Then, you can restore everything as it was: and Winreg, and the status of the Remote Registry service

I get the same error and I solved with

Note 1288344 - NwSapSetupAdmin: Could not store IS user data

Another potential cause for this as I have just discovered whilst setting this up in a sandbox is if you have not yet logged into the account. If it's a brand new account, be sure to login once so Windows can setup the account, or else if your org has a script to do this ensure that the users' folder is setup.

This has now been sorted.

You might want to check the Windows event logs ... might find something in the application or security one.
