If you, like me, have been attempting to get SCCM 2012 installed in your lab environment, you may have encountered the error ‘Failed to create machine certificate’, and been unable to proceed. In my case, I was attempting to install against a default install of SQL 2012. SQL 2012 defaults to creating local ‘Network Service’ accounts for each of the SQL service accounts. Changing the MSSQLSERVER service to run as a domain account resolved the error.
Great success! Thanks
Worked, thank you!
