I have successfully installed this preview without any AD. I have it all running on a single server with SQL Server 2014 installed locally as well. The only errors I encountered are below.
1. User profile sync will not work (obviously)
2. The configuration wizard fails when trying to configure the SharePoint_Config database stating that you cannot use a local account.
I'm not worried about the user profile sync, since I'm not doing any testing with that, only working on some custom solutions I have developed in 2013 as well as some workflows.
The configuration wizard was easy enough to get around by creating the configuration database with PowerShell. I used the following simple command to create the SharePoint_Config database, the configuration wizard will then just skip this step when you run it again and you can walk through the rest of the gui, or just set up the whole environment with PowerShell from that point.
"New-SPConfigurationDatabase
-DatabaseName "SharePoint_Config" -DatabaseServer
"HEARTOFGOLD-SQL" -AdministrationContentDatabaseName
"SPFarm_Admin_ContentDB" -Passphrase (ConvertTo-SecureString
"ZaphodBeeblebrox@42" -AsPlainText -force) -FarmCredentials
(Get-Credential) -ServerRoleOptional"

GinjaNInja -
Did you get the Search Service Application to work as well, without using AD? It hasn't worked for me yet. Trying to create the Search Service App with a local machine account seems to cause this error: "The SDDL string contains an invalid sid or a sid that cannot be translated". Is there a workaround or solution to this?
