Windows 2008 Enterprise R2 Cluster Validate Failure

[etchason]

Hello,

 

I am trying to setup a Windows 2008 2-node fail-over cluster using Windows 2008 Server Enterprise R2. After the Verify cluster configuration wizard completes, I get the following error:

 

System Configuration->Validated Services:

 

An error occurred while executing the test. There was an error validating that there are no unsigned drivers. OpenService 'RPCSs' failed. Access is denied.

 

This error always shows up for the second node. So, say I run the verify cluster wizard on node 1 and will get stated error for node2. If I run the cluster verify wizard from node2 then I get the stated error for node1.

 

Also, I helped setup a similar cluster (2 nodes fail-over) serveral months ago using Windows server 2008 Service Pack 2. I followed the same procedure to setup up this cluster - which is to be a test system. I did not get this error during the first cluster setup?

 

I have checked to make sure both node 1 and node 2 are configured the same. What am I missing. I new to Windows clustering. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.
