Cannot install June CTP on Windows 2003 DC !!!

I am trying to install Sql Server 2005 June CTP on a Windows Server
2003 SP1 primary domain controller with IIS/ASP installed.

I get this error (when Sql Server Database Services is being installed:
 "SQL Server Setup was unable add user NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE to
local group SQLServer2005MSSQLServerADHelp­erUser".


And I am not alone!
See http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx PostID=18788

Any workaround or update to be able to install it on a domain controller, Microsoft

Thanks!

    Yikes, this is a huge issue. I have this issue too on a single Win2K3 Server Standard with SP1, AD/DC. Active Directory and DC are required before setting up TFS.Tongue Tied

    Anybody

    Our environment requires installation of SQL 2005 on a server with Active Directory... so this is really a big issue.

    Please, can somebody from MS look into this

    I've been in contact with the TFS team on this issue. As long as you use the April CTP that shipped with TFS Beta 2 you're okay. You just can't use the June CTP.

    We are a few days later now, and still, nowhere on the Internet I can find a solution.

    Can somebody from Microsoft please respond

    Currently SQL Server 2005 will not install on a Domain Controller or on Windows Small Business Server. There is no known work around at this time other than installing on a machine that is not configured as a domain controller. This is a known issue and we're working on resolving it.
