hmm... I guess that Yuan Shao is mistaken !!!
I think he meant that the domain user should be a local administrator on the
nodes.

You can trust me on this one :-) Also check this article on microsoft
website:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/technologies/clustering/confclus.mspx#XSLTsection124121120120

Under checklist for Server Cluster Configuration-
"A domain-level account that is a member of the local administrators group
on each node. A dedicated account is recommended."

Ya, it is a bit confusing, but it means: "A domain user with admin
previliges on each of the cluster nodes"
