Hello,
I have a Win2003 cluster(Both nodes are Domain Controllers) - I have 5
shared folders. Today I needed to fail over the nodes and 2 of the 5 shares
would not start. The event log stated "Event ID 1068
Source: ClusSvc
Description: The cluster file share resource <resourcename> failed to start.
Error 5.

I understand this is an access denied error - I added the cluster service
account to the direcotries in question and all worked fine. My only question
is why didn't the other 3 directories need this permission? ALL directories
had the admin account with full access, the only difference was the 2
directories in question did not have the Domain USers group in the ACL.
The 3 directories that were working had the Domain Users group however, each
directory specified different access rights for the group.
The depenedices for all shares are the same....

I am just trying to figure out why i needed the cluster account added to
these 2 and not the others.

Thanks,
Nick
