Psconfig Steps with their Operations performed at each task

Today Lets check out What happens when we run the Post Setup configuration Wizard . After setup is run the post setup configuration wizard must be run to complete the process of either creating a new farm or joining a server to an existing farm.
Psconfig Steps with their Operations performed at each task. 
Task 1 -      Initialize SharePoint products and technologies configuration 
Note - It Initializes the configuration and has very less chances of failing on this step.
Task 2 -    Create Configuration database
Note - It creates a new configuration Database in the sql . You need to have proper rights to create a database. 
Setup user account - The Setup user account is used to run the following:
  • Setup
  • SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard
    • Domain user account.
    • Member of the Administrators group on each server on which Setup is run.
    • SQL Server login on the computer that runs SQL Server.
    • Member of the following SQL Server roles:
      • securityadmin fixed server role
      • dbcreator fixed server role
If you run Windows PowerShell cmdlets that affect a database, this account must be a member of the db_owner fixed database role for the database.

If you find an issue Connecting Sharepoint to the Sql server. Create a UDL file and check for the connectivity. For further information on UDL check the link below
