During install of 7.0, customer is getting 'invalid password syntax'
error (uaf-f-pwdsyntax) when trying to create the SQLSRV$DEFLT
account.
Installing Alpha MV from system account. Currently has 6.0 & 6.1
installed. The system account has /flags=dispwdhis & dispwddic.
The uic's they chose did not exist. The SQLSRV$DEFLT account did
not previously exist.
Any ideas?

I pulled the following out of the SQLSRV_INSTALL.COM procedure in
an attempt to figure out what might be going on...
Is the error complaining about the SQLSRV$SERVER_PASSWORD value
that is returned and subsequently used to create the account?
$ vmi$callback GET_PASSWORD SQLSRV$SERVER_PASSWORD AUTO
$ _o
$ if ( ("''SQLSRV$SERVER_PASSWORD'" .eqs. "") .or. -
(f$locate("%SET-","''SQLSRV$SERVER_PASSWORD'") .lt. -
f$length("''SQLSRV$SERVER_PASSWORD'")) )
$ then...
$ vmi$callback CREATE_ACCOUNT 'SQLSRV$ACC' "''QUALS'"

Well the explanation for that error is:
PWDSYNTAX, invalid password syntax
Facility: UAF, Authorize Utility
Explanation: A password was entered using incorrect syntax.
User Action: Enter a password using 1 to 31 alphanumeric characters, the
dollar sign ($), or the underscore (_) characters.
Looks like the customer just specified a password for that account (in answer
to the prompt during installation) that included some illegal characters (maybe
a "-" instead of a "_")

They weren't prompted for a password....

Circumvented problem by manually creating the SQLSRV$DEFLT & RMU$SRV
accounts. Were able to get IVP's to run eventually.
