Connecting to the central admin site of the new sharepoint installation displays a blank page, generates the following error in the windows application event viewer:
Unknown SQL Exception 1346 occurred. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below.
A transport-level error has occurred when sending the request to the server. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 – Either a required impersonation level was not provided, or the provided impersonation level is invalid.)
The reason: Sharepoint was installed and configured to use an account for the farm administrator, that is not the same as the user account running the installation.
To Fix: Connect to the machine with the account that was set as the sharepoint farm administrator. Run the sharepoint product configuration, withough making any changes to the configuration. When it finishes, connect to the central admin site and complete any other configurations, including giving admin rights to any other groups or accounts to the sharepoint farm.
