I have had this error occur three times in a row now and cannot figure out what the issue is. I am installing Sharepoint 2013 on a Windows 2012 Server that I have first installed SQL Server 2012 on. SQL Server installs with no issues whatsoever. During the Sharepoint 2013 installation however, when I run the Configuration Wizard, after inputting all the information I receive the following error:
The database server name I use is the same name as the server I'm installing Sharepointtoo (lets say "spserver") so I enter it as "spserver.domain.edu" as the FQDN...the username is my username which is an admin account for machines in our Active Directory OU.
V
Values are automatically populated in this screen with the FQDN of the database server I entered previously (spserver.domain.edu) and of course the central administration address is the same except with the port used to access the central administration URL
When I go to the configuration log file specified in the first screen, information pertaining to this error is copied below:
02/27/2013 09:09:18 6 ERR Failed to create the configuration database.An exception of type System.InvalidOperationException was thrown. Additional exception information: An error occurred while getting information about the user <my username> at server <domain>.edu: Access is denied

I guess I don't understand as earlier on in the same log file the following information appears:

Of course I have replaced values that actually appear between the < > notation.
Can anybody offer any assistance with this?
Thanks
