When installing the local version of Test Track, you encounter an error message like the attached.

1.  Check your password for the sa account  to make sure that it adheres to any security policies that exist in your environment.

2.  If Step 1 does not work, there may be an error when the database installation script attempts to create a new SQL Server user named “TestTrackUser”. The password is apparently not strong enough for the server rules in place.

An immediate way around this is to temporarily relax these restrictions by going into the server’s Local Security Policy in the “Administrative Tools” section. Go to Account Policies ->Password Policy then change “Password must meet complexity requirements” to “Disabled”. Run the installer and you should no longer get the error message. After installation of the TT database, run this sql statement and re-enable the security policy:

ALTER LOGIN TestTrackUser WITH CHECK_POLICY = OFF

As always, let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you,
