Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation error while installing SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise edition on Windows Server 2012 R2 standard VM server
I've been trying fresh installation of SQL Server 2008 R2 enterprise on Windows Server 2012 R2 standard VM server several times for two weeks, but always get the error "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation". At first, I attempted
to install all features, but failed several times. So I decided to try install just Database Engine service, and still fail at the SqlBrowserConfigAction_Install_ConfigNonRC_Cpu32, with the error "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation".
I remote login to server with my admin domain account. This account is in server local Administrators group. I
1. Right-click on setup.exe file | properties | Compatibility tab | select compatibility to Windows 8.Then click OK.
2. Right-click on setup.exe file | Run as Administrator, to start the Installation Center.
I have the document of my installation steps and zip file of the installation logs, if you need to take a look.
Appreciate for any help!

Hi ntth,
"Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation"
The above error is always related to the Windows account SID mapping. I recommend you login into Windows using another Windows account which has administrative privileges and run SQL Server setup using that Windows account.
Besides, please note that we need to apply SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2 or a later update when installing SQL Server Windows Server 2012 R2. For more information, please review this
KB article.

Hi,
I am getting the error "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation" on windows 8.1 while installing
SQL server 2008.
The specific error is The error is Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation."
at stepSqlBrowserConfigAction_install_ConfigNonRC_Cpu32 .
I have tried everything from copying to the C drive. I am the admin on the machine. I also checked access in registry. It already has acesss to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\WMI\security
Can someone comment on how to resolve this issue. I also tried NT
AUTHORITY\SYSTEM but getting the same error.
Any help would be appreciated.Hello,
Please note that SQL Server 2008 requires Service Pack 3 (SP3) to make it compatible with
Windows 8.1. Please perform an slipstream installation of SQL Server 2008 + SP3:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955392
If it fails again, please share with us the Summary.txt log file and the details.txt log file. The following article
may help you locate those files on disk::

SQL Server 2008 Developer install failed - Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation
I'm trying to install SQL Server 2008 Developer edition on my laptop running Windows XP Professional SP2. I ran the installer as a domain user with admin rights to the local box. The installation advisor program certified that my system was ready for the install, but nevertheless I had to uninstall SQL Server 2005 Express edition and install .NET framework 3.5 SP1 first. Once that was done, the installer finished, having successfully installed all the components of SQL Server 2008 except for the core database engine. It failed with this error message: Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.
I uninstalled SQL Server 2008 and reinstalled with the same results.
Below is a snippet from my C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log\20081014_203925\Detail.txt which seems like it may be relevant.
Can anyone offer any assistance? Would be greatly appreciated.

I have recently donwloaded the evaluation version of SQL SERVER 2010. I have a similar problem to this user as shown below. I have tried changing the registry permissions for Microsoft SQL Server but this made no difference. Since the registry entries are created by the installation process it seems odd that it cannnot subsequently update the entry.
Any ideas?

Office 365 - Access User Profile -Error: Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation
Hi,
I am using a console application to read the user profile data in office 365.
I am getting the error as "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation", while running the console.
I have used the below code:
static void Main(string[] args)
Uri test_targetSite = new Uri(test_siteurl);
string decryptedPwd = Decryptdata(password);
foreach (char c in decryptedPwd)
securePassword.AppendChar(c);
SharePointOnlineCredentials onlineCredentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(login, securePassword);
//getting UserProfile Service
TestAdminUserProfileService.UserProfileService admin_ups = new TestAdminUserProfileService.UserProfileService();
admin_ups.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
string authCookieValue = onlineCredentials.GetAuthenticationCookie(test_targetSite);
admin_ups.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
admin_ups.CookieContainer.Add(new Cookie("FedAuth", authCookieValue.TrimStart("SPOIDCRL=".ToCharArray()), String.Empty, test_targetSite.Authority));
// Gets the first profile
GetUserProfileByIndexResult pResults = admin_ups.GetUserProfileByIndex(-1);
int totalUsers = (int)admin_ups.GetUserProfileCount();
int counter = 0;
//Loop through all UserProfiles and Add to custom Group
while (pResults.UserProfile != null)
try
// Get the next profile
pResults = admin_ups.GetUserProfileByIndex(Convert.ToInt32(pResults.NextValue));
How to fix this for Office 365?
ThanksHi,
Thanks for the reply.
1. How to check, which is the App pool account for office 365 portal?
2. Which account has access to user-profile service application? if yes, how to verify the same?
3. How to access Manage service applications in office365? Like in SharePoint 2010 or 2013
Go to SharePoint Central Admin > Application Management > Manage Service Application

Installing SCCM 2012 R2 "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation"
Hi all.
I'm a student with a mission of reviewing SCCM 2012 R2 for a company in a lab environment. I have access to a bladesystem with 4 physical servers. On these I have 7 virtual machines: 2 DCs, 2 servers for SCCM and SQL and 3 clients. The SCCM installation
is supposed to be a single standalone primary server with the SQL database on another physical server.
When I try to install the SCCM i get to the point where I have to submit my SQL information, but I keep getting the error message:
"Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation".
I've searched the internet for 2 days now and I'm near a mental breakdown...
I've installed the SQL server, made my admin account (which I use everywhere for simplicity) member of all the admin groups (schema, domain, enterprise etc.), I've extended the AD schema and the SPNs are set, I have full connectivity between the all servers
with ping and nslookup both returning correct values, the servers are not clustered, I have installed all required features, all firewalls are disabled.
Please, if anyone knows whats wrong give me a hand, all help is appreciated! :)Well I'm installing the trial version downloaded directly from Microsoft, I'm not sure if that's what you mean by reviewing, but I'm performing the acutal install in a lab environment. I do install the SCCM on another server than the SQL, both are virtual
machines on different physical servers within the same bladesystem. I could try to install them on the same machine, but I have limited amounts of RAM and hard drive space. I'd prefer to keep them separate but if it's too hard to find the source of the error,
I could have a look if I have enough for the install on the same machine. How much RAM and hard drive space would you recommend if I install it on the same server? -

Thank you

JamalHello,
Are you trying to install SQL Server on a compressed or encrypted drive? SQL Server won’t install on a drive/folder with these attributes.
Are you trying to install SQL Server on a ReFS file system? It is not supported on SQL Server 2012.
Disable any security/antivirus software and download the media again. Mount the media (.ISO file) and try to install again.
Hope this helps.
