After a couple of false starts it turned out that I had to uninstall Sharepoint, reboot, and reinstall after updating the Geneva framework as outlined above. This was on Server 2008 R2, BTW. Thanks for posting the fix!

Thanks for posting this, as it is exactly what we are trying to set up here for a sandbox/demo environment. However I have a question. In your example it looks like you want the local Administrator account to be the service account & DB owner. Does that mean New-SPConfigurationDatabase should be run while logged in as that account? Though I just noticed from your screenshot that you appear to be logged in as "neilh". I ask because I ran it using my own (domain) account, and when New-SPConfigurationDatabase asked me for the SQL server hostname (but before asking for the farm credential), a Windows dialog popped up asking for login info, so I used my own. But now I'm the owner of the config & admin DBs and some of the services got set up using my account as the identity. Is that dialog where I should use local Admin or some other local account instead? Thanks. Dan

Still experiencing this issue when using New-SPConfigurationDatabase, even after reinstalling Geneva.
Any solutions?

Using Win2008 R2, SQL Server 2008 SP1 CU5 SP 2010 beta2. VM using Virtualbox 3.0.12. I have followed Roy's suggestion to replace the MS Geneva Framework by the suggested link (http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/3/D/F3D66A7E-C974-4A60-B7A5-382A61EB7BC6/MicrosoftGenevaFramework.amd64.msi). I have also checked that I have the correct version of Microsoft.IdentityMode as explain by the author of the blog "SharePoint 2010 Lab Environment Part 1 – Installing SharePoint on Windows 7". As suggested in Jie Li's blog Item #4 (http://blogs.msdn.com/opal/archive/2009/11/16/installation-notice-for-sharepoint-2010-public-beta.aspx) Install WCF FIX: A hotfix that provides a method to support the token authentication without transport security or message encryption in WCF is available for the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1". I still get the error message "New-SPConfigurationDatabase : The user does not exist or is not unique." Exactly like what Roy reported initially. What id the meaning of this error and is there any fix? Thank in advance for any help.

This post has been a lifesaver! I've got the DBs successfully created, but before proceding I wonder could you explain what you mean by the following?
 
"unfortunately the GUID is back but that can be fixed if necessary"
 
Thanks!

It appears that the SharePoint 2010 Public Beta does not install the correct version of the MS Geneva Framework ... which is why the approach you described above failed.
 
Scroll down to Step 7. of this post (search on "SharePoint 2010 Lab Environment Part 1 – Installing SharePoint on Windows 7"). I uninstalled the Geneva Framework on my Windows Server 2008 R2 VM, then installed the version that was hyperlinked in the SharePoint Solutions/help posting.
 
Once that was installed, and after cleaning up messes that were left on my server from previous failed attempts (detaching the configuation DB, and dropping it and the content db from SQL Server) the above technique worked.
 
Hope this helps others with the same issue!

When I try the steps as outlined above on a fresh install of SharePoint 2010 Public Beta (Nov. 09), after the New-SPConfigurationDatabase collects the info, and cooks for a while ... and the 2 SP Databases are created in SQL Server 2008, the cmdlet errors out in RED with:
 
New-SPConfigurationDatabase : The user does not exist or is not unique.
At line:1 char:28
+ New-SPConfigurationDatabase <<<<
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (Microsoft.Share...urationDatabase:
   SPCmdletNewSPConfigurationDatabase) [New-SPConfigurationDatabase], SPCmdle
  tException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPCmdletNewSPCon
   figurationDatabase
New-SPConfigurationDatabase : The user does not exist or is not unique.

  ption
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPCmdletNewSPCon
   figurationDatabase
When I go and start the configuration wizard after this, even though the 2 databases have been created, SP 2010 cannot find them when trying to join the newly created farm. After keying in the local server name to find the default instance of SQL Server 2008, and selecting "Retrieve Database Names", the error "Cannot find an existing configuration database located at the specified database server. Please choose a different database server."
 
I can then manually type in the created Config database name, and it accepts it. But then it asks for the Passphrase next ... After typing in the passphrase I used for the cmdlet to create the base Farm, I get the error "The passphrase you entered is incorrect. Please try again."
 
And this is as far as I get.  So now I've got a partial install.
 
BTW I chose the SharePoint 2010 Internet Enterprise key.
 
I'm running on Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit with SQL Server 2008 Standard installed plus the SQL Server 2008 SP1 Hotfix installed.
 
Suggestions?
