Problem
The following error occurs when installing SQL 2008
Resolution
This problem occurs because the name of the computer is the same as the windows username.
ie Computer name is John Doe and the current logged in user is also John Doe
To resolve you will need to either change the name of the computer or login as a different user and then rerun the SQL 2008 R2 installation.
