I am trying to set up a user account other than default sa to be able
to install a 3rd party application on a Windows 2003 box which during
the installation would create a database on a SQL 2005 server.

Both boxes are in AD. I tried giving both local and domain user
account, assigned sysadmin server role in SQL security, but it didn't
work.

What did you actually do? Could you describe that step by step? You
say "user account other than default sa" which suggests that you created
an SQL Server login. But then you mention the AD which applies to Windows
logins only.
