I am attempting to restore a farm backup to a new SharePoint install.

The OSW timer service is running under farm account. farm account has db_accessadmin, db_datawriter and db_securityadmin membership on the 'Master' database, yet I keep getting these errors.

What else am i missing - any help appreciated.

thanks.

Farm admin account should need these two permission in order to create a database on sql.

  • DB_Creator
  • SecurityAdmin

Also make sure farm admin is part of local admin on the SharePoint server.
