    Thanks a lot, Echo.
    After adding VM into the domain, able to run the config wizard.
    However, Sharepoint PowerShell script works only after completion of SharePoint configuration wizard
    Thanks again

    Regards
    Santosh

    Hello @Santosh V ,

    The error comes because when you are installing SharePoint Server 2019, you need a domain account. It should be an active directory domain account.

    Please run the below New-SPConfigurationDatabase cmdlet as an admin 

    New-SPConfigurationDatabase -DatabaseName SharePoint_ConfigDB -DatabaseServer [ServerName] -AdministrationContentDatabaseName SharePoint_ContentDB -Passphrase (ConvertTo-SecureString [password] -AsPlaintext -Force) -FarmCredentials (Get-Credential) -localserverrole SingleServerFarm

    Thanks,
    Echo Du
