Workaround

1. Create a new user on the local operating system and put it only in the Users group. Do not grant the new user Administrator privileges. Then follow the steps as listed in the error window.
2. Open a command prompt on the Windows Desktop.
3. Copy the command from your SAS Deployment Wizard Error. In the command, be sure to replace domain/stduser with the new user that you created.
4. Execute the command and allow it to run until completion.
5. Click Retry in SAS Deployment Wizard once the command has finished executing.

We created new local user id “test_user” on the server and added in local group Users.

And run this command:
runas /env /user:AZCS2025\test_user “\”D:/Program Files/SASHome/SASWebInfrastructurePlatformDataServer/9.4/bin/initdb.exe\” -D D:/SAS/Config/Lev1/WebInfrastructurePlatformDataServer/data -U dbmsowner -E UTF8 –locale C “
