An exception of type Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.PostSetupConfigurationTaskException was thrown. Additi onal exception information

The other day I was installing SharePoint 2010 - actually was running Config wizard using a powershell script when i got this big error -

"An exception of type Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.PostSetupConfigurationTaskException was thrown. Additional exception information: The adminvs command is invalid or a failure has been encountered.Cannot provision the SharePoint Central Administration Web Application because this computer is not part of a server farm. Run this configuration wizard again to create or join a server farm."

After a bit of research i found out that the farm account which was used to install SharePoint using this script did not had rights to access the back-end SQL server. So fixing the access issue with SQL fixed my problem.
The error message was little confusing though.
