I am installing SharePoint 2010 using AutoSPInstaller which is failing when creating a user profile service application with below error. I have provided Install account dbcreator and security admin roles and local administrator on SharePoint box.

During installation SPT_Farm is also added to local administrator on SharePoint server. Even then the UPA is failing.

Questions: Do we have to provide any permission to SPT_Farm account in SQL?

Creating User Profile Service Application as DOMAIN\SPT_Farm... New-SPProfileServiceApplication : The EXECUTE permission was denied on the obje ct 'sp_send_dbmail', database 'msdb', schema 'dbo'.

  • What kind of permissions does your SharePoint Farm account have in the SQL Instance?

  • My Farm account doesn't have any access in SQL.. I don't see anywhere that Farm account needs access in SQL for User Profile configuration.. All the blogs talk about having administrator access on the SharePoint server where I am configuring UPS..

  • Besides the above, Make sure the account has SharePoint_Shell_Access role on SharePoint_Config to run scripts
