Using the SQBServerSetup.exe, as I'm very accustomed to doing, is a worse experience... There are no passwords for gMSA logins, so when I use that dialog, I'm immediately confronted with a requirement for a login AND a password. "No can do..." is my response to that. Cancel and go back to good-old local Windows Login, which is a royal pain to set up in Windows Server 2016 (thanks MS!). I'm up and running, but I also had to negotiate the "not a server principal" when SQB was up and running with the local login and the SQL Service with the gMSA. So, I added the gMSA as a SQL Login and granted it sysadmin role. Backups still failed: 1/16/2018 7:24:47 PM: Backing up master (full database) to: 1/16/2018 7:24:47 PM: G:\SQLBackups\master\FULL_<Server>_master_20180116_192447.sqb 1/16/2018 7:24:47 PM: Error 880: BACKUP DATABASE permission denied in database: (master) 1/16/2018 7:24:47 PM: SQL error 15157: Setuser failed because of one of the following reasons: the database principal 'RS\XXXSQLService$' does not exist, its corresponding server principal does not have server access, this type of database principal cannot be impersonated, or you do not have permission. That's when I changed the SQL Service to also use the local admin login, and, per normal, everything just works. Despite Microsoft stating that for YEARS gMSAs can be used with SQL Server, the reality, unless (very likely) we missed some crucial configuration re the gMSA, is that gMSAs aren't really 100% compatible... We would dearly like to use them for security reasons. If we missed something (this is the first time using any gMSA for our I.T. Manager or myself, accidental DBA) we are all ears! / comments
