TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Setup
------------------------------

SQL Server 2005 Setup requires administrator permissions on every
cluster node. To continue, update permissions for the account
currently running Setup, or log in with an account that has
administrator permissions on every cluster node, and then run SQL
Server Setup again.

Hello

Setting up a new W2K8 x64 Two Node Cluster A/P. I have the cluster
built and the cluster fails over from node to node with no problems.
Cluster validation passed 100% on all items. I have create a sql
installation account, and added that domain account to the local Admin
group on each node. I have the two installation CD copied to the C
drive on the primary node. When logged in as the installation
account on the second node I can access the installation files.
\\<servername\c$\ I have also changed the local policy on both
nodes and added the sql installation account granting log on as
service and act as part of the operating system rights. Windows
firewall is disabled on both nodes for the installation. I have
looked at the SQL logs but nothing is jumping out at me as to the
cause of the problem.
