When I installing SDL Web8.5 by using the installer, following error occurs during installing Topology Manager.

A new member could not be added to a local group because of the member has the wrong account type.

The CMS Server is belonging to Active Directory domain, and the CMS server itself is a Domain Controller. Is it possible this fact is affecting? And how can I avoid this error?

The more detailed log message is following.

  • Is that user which you trying to install is it has local admin rights on the machine?

  • The user who does installation is Active Directory user, and it belongs to Administrators group which is buit-in Active Directory group. I started installer by 'Run as administrator'. Also CMS server itself joins in an AD's domain. Is it still necessary to use local administrator user to install? Jun 15, 2018 at 0:09
  • I have heard about installation issues when trying to install on a Domain Controller, indeed. In general, this is considered a bad practice. Jun 15, 2018 at 6:30
  • I asked SDL support about this issue, they say it's impossible to install SDL Web into Domain Controller server, unfortunately. Jun 15, 2018 at 9:59
  • Please Answer your own Question, in that case. Jun 15, 2018 at 13:30
