Cannot connect to Backup Exec 2012 Sever

I just recently uninstalled Backup Exec 12.5 and installed a fresh copy of BE 2012. I did not run into any errors when installing. I restarted the server but I cannot login to the BE server. When I try to log in I get this error...

"Could not connect to server DC01.domain.local. Check that the server name and login credentials were entered correctly and that Backup Exec services are running on the server.

The BackupExec Management Service was unable to start.
Data Source: BEDB
Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection."

 

When I change the name of the server from DC01.domain.local to just DC01 I get this error....

"Login failed
The login credentials specified appear to be invalid.
The server has rejected the client credentials."

I started BEUtility.exe, changed the service account to bckupexec, restarted and it still will not allow me to log in. I made sure that user was part of the domain admins group but I still cannot log in. WTF is going on? This was a fresh install and it is not working??? The program is installed on a domain controller. There is no firewall/anti virus running.

Please help, I cannot go much longer without a backup and I dont want to uninstall, reinstall BE 12.5. HELP!!!

    Are you using a default SQL instance or a custom one ? If a custom one, is the name of the SQL server over 15 chars in length ?

    Lastly, try editing the host file on the media server...

    add couple of entries such as

    IP address DC01.domain.local

    Same IP address DC01

    Please check the sql service and make sure it is running under the correct credentials most probably LSA unless it is also connected to some other SQL database. Also try to put all the BE services in Local account and check if they starts. Also check the event viewer and post the error messages

    SQL Service is running as LSA. Tried making all of the services LSA and got the same results. BE is on a domain controller so all of the accounts are domain accounts.

    The error log is showing this..

    SSPI handshake failed with error code 0x8009030c while establishing a connection with integrated security; the connection has been closed. [CLIENT: <local machine>]

    Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. [CLIENT: <local machine>]

    I ended up just typing the second IP address of the machine and it connected. Thanks!
