    Hi,

    Thanks for posting in Microsoft MECM Q&A forum.

    1.The logon account for the sql server cannot be a local user account. You must configure the SQL server service to use a valid domain account. You need to use the SQL Server Configuration Manager tool to change the service account:
    SCM Services - Change the Service Startup Account

    2.Here is a similar thread for your reference, the problem was solved by just enabling "SQL Server Browser".
    SCCM 1802 installation error

    Thanks for your time.

    Best regards,
    Simon
