Provisioning failed: 'Administrator' is not a valid Windows NT name. Give the complete name: <domain\username>.

I am trying to create a Shared Service on MOSS 2007, but it is giving me error:

Provisioning failed: 'Administrator' is not a valid Windows NT name. Give the complete name: <domain\username>.

I don't know what is the problem, I entered the username in this format 'SERVER\Administrator', is it incorrect , becuase what the error message is saying is not true " 'Administrator' is not a valid Windows NT name ".

    Did you manage to fix this issue We are currently experiencing the same issue. Feedback welcome!

    Are you using Active Directory If you are then the account must be a domain account, using a local name will not work correctly.

  • Doug Peck

    Is it a farm
    If it's a farm, try to use a domian account, so use this format (DOMAIN\Administrator). If your SQL is in the same machine, you can use this format (SERVER\Administrator). Don't forget to verify if your "Administrator" account really exist. And if it's really have administrator permissions.
