Consistency validation for SQL Server registry keys failed error -SQL for SCCM

During installation of SQL server, "Consistency validation for SQL Server registry keys failed” error pops up in the below scenarios.

1. Previous installation of SQL exists.
2. Inappropriate permissions on the registry keys of Microsoft SQL server.

Solution that worked me is explained below.

A. Identify the issue:

1. Go to %Program Files%\Microsoft SQL Server\100\SetupBootstrap\Log\”date  and time of installation”

2. Search (in Detail_GlobalRules.txt) for lines containing the following string

"Could not fix registry key"

3. Run “regedit”, set full control permissions for the appropriate registry keys mentioned in "Detail_GlobalRules.txt" file.

Re-run the installation.

B. Modifying the registry:

1. Locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server in registry. (To open registry, run “regedit”)

2. Right click and go to Permission

3. Click on Advance tab and check the below options.

    i. Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent.

    ii. Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from  this object.Click OK twice.


Reboot the server and try installing again.
Take a backup of the registry before modifying.

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>
