[automation] sql express installation doesn't meet strength password

Hi everyone,

I tried to install automation server for my environment but in the middle of installation progress i have face the situation that my server (Windows Server 2012) couldn't install SQL express.

The error says "The specified sa password does not meet strong password requirements".

i know that it could be solved by edit our domain account password policy to temporary disable some options but it could be more time,

i don't have access/rights to edit policy on AD so i must have approval and it can be take a long time to be approved from our IT management.

i want to ask is there any other ways to install sql express without changing domain policy? already try "use custom account" but the error says same.

kindly need your advice.

Thanks.
