Registering SPN for SQL Server for SCCM

If using a domain account to install SQL server 2008 R2 for SCCM, you have to register a SPN (Service Principal Name) in Active Directory for that domain account. Two SPNs for the account should be registered,     1. For NETBIOS name of the SQL Server     2. For the FQDN of SQL server. The procedure to do that is as follows 1. Log on to a domain controller; open a command prompt with administrative privileges. 2. Type the below commands replacing SQL server name. setspn –A MSSQLSvc/< SQL Server NETBIOS name >:1433<Domain\Account> setspn –A MSSQLSvc/< SQL Server FQDN >:1433 <Domain\Account> 3. As shown in the below screenshot, the server name here is  CM2012 for NETBIOS name and CM2012.CONTOSO.COM 4.  Verify the registration of SPN by typing the below command Setspn –L  <domain\account>
