Cannot install June CTP on Windows 2003 DC !!!

I am trying to install Sql Server 2005 June CTP on a Windows Server
2003 SP1 primary domain controller with IIS/ASP installed.

I get this error (when Sql Server Database Services is being installed:
"SQL Server Setup was unable add user NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE to
local group SQLServer2005MSSQLServerADHelp­erUser".
And I am not alone!
See http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=18788

Any workaround or update to be able to install it on a domain controller, Microsoft?

Thanks!

Anybody?

Our environment requires installation of SQL 2005 on a server with Active Directory... so this is really a big issue.

Please, can somebody from MS look into this?|||We are a few days later now, and still, nowhere on the Internet I can find a solution.

Can somebody from Microsoft please respond?|||

Currently SQL Server 2005 will not install on a Domain Controller or on Windows Small Business Server. There is no known work around at this time other than installing on a machine that is not configured as a domain controller. This is a known issue and we're working on resolving it.

|||Yikes, this is a huge issue. I have this issue too on a single Win2K3 Server Standard with SP1, AD/DC. Active Directory and DC are required before setting up TFS.Tongue Tied
|||I've been in contact with the TFS team on this issue. As long as you use the April CTP that shipped with TFS Beta 2 you're okay. You just can't use the June CTP.
