Yes. You need sa, unfortunately.
<shameless plug> You can read my book for some additional details (I've got two chapters on installing OpsMgr and a chapter on SQL Monitoring). </shameless plug> In general, the install and the management pack do so much more than just deal with the OperationsManager database itself, that it requires additional privileges. There are some folks who have tried to cut that back and assign granular permissions, but it tends to reduce the efficacy of the MP. Regards, Michael B.

Specifically I was wondering what SQL 2005 permissions the account that is installing needs within SQL. Our DBA group did the SQL install and gave my account the dbcreator and public roles within SQL. That does not seem to be enough for the install. Getting the 25154 error with error code -2147217900. I've Googled this and found some hits but none specifically in regards to SQL permissions. I have read through the Deployment guide and the Design guide, and cant' find a specific mention of this. I'm guessing if they give me sysadmin it will work. I'll post this over on MyITforum, but thought I might get a quicker response here.
