If u try to install SharePoint without a Domain, u might face the Problem, that SharePoint Products and Configuration Wizard stops with the following error after passing database Access account:
"The specified user MACHINENAME\Username" is a local account. Local accounts should only be used in stand alone mode."
Are we unable to install SharePoint 2013 with local accounts for real? I mean in production this would def. make no sense, but for a development or test Environment it can make sense in certain cases.
The trick here is to precreate the SharePoint_Config database with Power Shell. Use the following command:
> New-SPConfigurationDatabase
This creates all necessary databases and u can run Configuration Manager after with the option “Connect to existing farm”, sure u can successfully setup SharePoint then with local accounts on a single machine.
As this is one of the most time consuming parts of the Setup, u can go for a coffe now. it will take some time...
