I never said or implied that it did, my reference was to the seemingly incorrect SPN binding.
You're right and pardon me for coming off kind of snippy, it wasn't my intention, sorry. At any rate, I just fired up another clean 2008 virtual to install SQL server 2008. Figured I hosed something up in the original install. Everything was fine up until I get to the section where I specify a service account for the processes. The error I get is
*S-15-21-some long *** number-another ridiculous number-1108. No mapping between account name and the security ID's was done.
It has be something with my infrastructure, or the way I created the service account, which I can't imagine what because I created the blasted thing like I always have with gui tools etc. I'm lost...
