New-SPConfigurationDatabase: The user does not exist or is not unique

New-SPConfigurationDatabase : The user does not exist or is not unique.At line:1 char:28+ New-SPConfigurationDatabase <<<< + CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (Microsoft.Share...urationDatabase: SPCmdletNewSPConfigurationDatabase) [New-SPConfigurationDatabase], COMExce ption + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPCmdletNewSPCon figurationDatabaseHere are some details on my setup:
-SharePoint 2010 Ent.
-Windows w2k8 R2 Ent x64.
-Using SQL Server 2008 R2 x64-The local accounts I added to SQL Server both have the rights to create dbs (dbcreator and also sysadmin)-Windows Firewall is off (this probably isn't a factor)-I checked the version of Geneva Framework I have in assembly and it was 1.0.0.0. anyway, but I uninstalled this via Add/Remove, rebooted server, installed again, no luck.-At the farm credentials stage, I am using the following credentials: Name of Windows account I am using (eg Hany, but not ComputerName\AccountName), and the password to login.-When I installed SQL Server, I added the Administrator local account and my named local account but also with mixed auth and a password.-I am running a fully updated version of Windows Server. I haven't installed the other updates mentioned in various posts.
I faced this problem and I managed to solve it through the following steps:
· Make sure that your machine name is limited to 15 bit to be within the NetBIOS naming limits.
· Makes sure that the local windows accounts you are using to run the command as well as the perform the database access account is are using the following format:
MachineName\accountname, where the MachineName is your new machine name

What exactly are your standards of success to get a blog?
Readership? Quality? Will there be a relationship between readership and quality?
.. What did individuals with successful blogs do for making them successful?
Was it a kind of "if you build it, they will come" thing?
Do they actively market themselves? Do they associate themselves with other famous bloggers or websites?
So how exactly does it happen?.. Do you have a blog?
What do you do along with your blog? Do you consider yourself successful?
Why?.

The fleshlight mens sex toy is so unique

thoughts this is how I think it would be tough to find a way to
spend quality time with your kids. In many senses the
