If you have had the chance to download either SharePoint Foundation 2010 or SharePoint 2010 it is most likely that you have attempted to install with a local account on a Single Server Install. Odds are you have probably gotten disappointed because the wizard did not allow the installation with a local account. You were not the only one disappointed, although that disappointment did fuel the need to find a solution.
After some research, I did find a useful blog posting from the field that had the exact solution to my dilemma. The solution consisted in using PowerShell and a script named: “New-SPConfigurationDatabase”; this script is to be executed through the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell.
The step-by-step process would be like this:
1- Open the PowerShell Management Shell
Entering the prompted items:
DatabaseName
DatabaseServer
FarmCredentials
Passphrase
The process will take a while, when completed the cursor will appear in the command line.
2- Open the Configuration Wizard
Click Next Button
3- Restart the Services
Click Yes Button
4- Leave the Do not disconnect from this server setting selected
Click Next Button
5- Continue the normal course of the Configuration Wizard
There you go, now you have a Single Installation Server with a local account, this will work for both SharePoint Foundation 2010 and SharePoint 2010.
The details regarding SharePoint 2010 have long been awaited and while many have listed or blogged about it, this a compilation of many of these changes and enhancements.
While it is not in depth, it can be expanded with your comments and suggestions; feel free to leave comments so that we can improve upon this list.
Thank you for attending the presentation at the Rocky Mountain SharePoint User Group, as promised enclosed you will find the slides and the sample code.

Recently, I was asked if I had an idea of how to resolve this problem; the most common and easiest solution to fixing this problem is to add the site to the Trusted Sites in Internet Explorer; while this is the easiest way to fix the problem, some of the users might not like the fact that they will have to do this the first time they access the site.
The second method to fix this problem is more involved and requires the modification of the master page, the steps for achieving this are listed in great detail in the following article:
