The only way to reliably install it is use a local admin account (keep the domain admin out). Infact even during the DB2 install use local admin account only

System Console Installation Solved...I Think... [Visitor] — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 04:22:08 +0000

I think I found a way to reliably install the ST System Console. This works on my system at any rate. During the DB2 installation I used the Local System account on W2k3 EE. Without AD installed no additional users can be created so even the users DB2 wants to create don't work. I also disabled OS Level Security. That seemed to be throwing an issue as well. Once DB2 installed fully, ran the createDb batch file from the STSC installation directory, waited for a few minutes until it finally completed. Checked the DB in the DB2 Control Center and verified it to be correct. Then proceeded with the Installation Manager (WebSphere) install and Sametime System Console. The install goes off without a hitch. I hope this helps someone else who has been getting the "Exception thrown, database not registered" errors post the (very long) WAS install. Any questions feel free to e-mail me.

I too am experiencing this error. First time, second time, third time. I'm using Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise in ESX 3.5. I have 2GB allocated to it and still having same issues. I try to go ahead but now having issues with LDAP config. Possibly because am trying to connect it to Domino 8.5.1. Will try to connect it to a Domino 8.5 server and see what happens. Extremely frustrating! I'll post any updates.

Not for me, I've upped the memory and tried again. Same result...

I had the same issue (trying to install on VMWare Ubuntu 8.0.4) with 512MB in a virtual machine.
After changing to 1.5GB the installation finished without problems.

Looks like a low memory problem

I forgot: after I uninstalled the WAS, I deleted the folder where it was installed (..\Program Files\IBM\Websphere).. If you don't clean it the Installation Manager won't let you reinstall in the same path...

No news, other then that they commented that Domino 8.5.1 isn't supported.

I'll update as soon as I know more.

Ivan: I'll try your tip too!
