SYMPTOMS
You try to install Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) together with Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (Windows) on a domain controller that is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003. When the SQL Server Desktop Engine (Windows) component is being installed, the installation stops and is rolled back. In this situation, you receive an error message that resembles the following:

InstallSQLAgentSecurity failed (SERVER,LocalSystem,87).



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the SQL Server Desktop Engine (Windows) cannot communicate with the primary domain controller (PDC) emulator in Active Directory to create the service principal name (SPN) for the SQL account that connects to the database.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, make sure that the WSUS server can connect to the IPC$ share on the server that hosts the role of the PDC emulator. If the WSUS server is a domain controller, it may be easier to transfer the PDC role to the domain controller that is running WSUS to complete the installation.
