Failed to add MSSQL admin SVR02 and SVR03

[GrizzlyByte7]

I keep getting the following error when the servers.yml for svr02 and svr03. Any way to fix this?

I'm having the same issue. If I rerun the entire install script, jon.snow manages to go through, but I'm still having issues with khal.drogo.

Have you had any success?

[SamBugler]

Same issue. Any luck?

[mahWae9i]

I was experiencing the same issue with using the goad.sh script with ansible coming from docker ("-m docker"). When I changed ansible to local then it worked without any issue.

Hey, sorry it took forever to get back.

I found a solution in another issue, called Issues

https://github.com/Orange-Cyberdefense/GOAD/issues/62#issuecomment-1831032113

Log in to SRV02 and SRV03 with vagrant:vagrant and follow the steps in the linked comment. This fixed it for me.

I build the lab with ./goad.sh -t install -l GOAD -p virtualbox -m docker

Because I'm using Docker, I follow the instructions in docs/provisioning.md for getting into the docker provisioning container, and then I run the servers.yml playbook on its own.

ansible-playbook -i ../ad/GOAD/data/inventory -i ../ad/GOAD/providers/virtualbox/inventory main.yml # this will configure the vms in order to play ansible when the vms are ready (for virtualbox provider and goad lab)

ANSIBLE_COMMAND="ansible-playbook -i ../ad/GOAD/data/inventory -i ../ad/GOAD/providers/virtualbox/inventory"
$ANSIBLE_COMMAND servers.yml          # Install IIS and MSSQL

Hope this helps.

if you got MSSQL install issue please follow this :

• Login to the vm who fail to install mssql (login with vagrant:vagrant local admin)
• uninstall all mssql programs
• delete the c:\setup folder
• delete the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server folder relaunch the install.

i don't know why but on some deployment mssql fail to install well as on my computer it work fine x) if you have any answer of why mssql install as fail please tell me :)
