Hey gang,
I have a 2003 cluster and one of the nodes was rebuilt because it was
failing. I cannot get the quorum resource to function correctly on the new
node.
Here is what I have done:
Rebuilt and patched the failing node.
Blocked all group policy I could and put it in a separate OU.
Since I work for the Government, I am all about not taking risk with my
employment :)
Since you are going to be entering into a sticky situation, I would ask
myself the following questions.
Why does the company want to cut their ties with outsourcer? Are they
unhappy with the SLA? Is it costing
Whilst not independent, I know Quest offer something along these lines.

All,

Have you explicitly added the cluster service account to the local
Administrators group on the two nodes? I had a few bizarre niggling
cluster issues that were resolved by doing that. Even though the
service account was already a local admin on the box by virtue of group
membership, the cluster
I did confirm that the cluster service account is a member of the local
administrators account on both boxes and that the passwords I entered are
correct and the account is not locked out and it has the correct user rights on
the local node. I wish that were the answer!!

I'm confused. Why didn't you just evict the failing node and join the new one?
Are you sure you don't have a naming issue or perhaps a storage config issue?
I see nothing about either of those.

I did evict the node, forcedcleanup, rebuilt a new member
server, joined it to the domain, added it as a node to the existing
cluster. This is the result of that. I dont see any way this could
be a naming issue as the name resolution for DNS
Ruled out storage issues? Can we assume this is a SAN configuration? And I
assume that the new node has the appropriate zoning information configured
correctly for its WWN? That would be a change of course, but...
What do you see in the event log on that node and for the cluster?
Title: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Windows 2003 Cluster
You are correct, this is a SAN configuration with JNI FC
HBA's. The node was configured and running for a long while before it
failed. The SAN still has the configuration data for the WWN of the node,
as it was already configured as a node
It's this that gives me the heartache: The SAN still has the configuration
data for the WWN of the node
In my experience, whenever troubleshooting always assume nothing is correct and
troubleshoot accordingly. Those errors indicate that it cannot talk to the disk
properly. It's

It had WMI access denied errors that entailed ripping apart
the repository of the WMI database and since WMI was not starting the cluster
could not read the WMI information and did not see the other node
properly. I used the resetquorum switch

Mark, you might also want to have a look at John Craddock and Sally
Storey's offering for a 1 day 400-level AD Disaster Recovery seminar:

John and Sally are well
Have you also verified that the HBA is functioning correctly?

This looks to be different between 2000 and 2003 DNS servers. On 2000
DNSAdmins is granted full control to this object and all child
objects. On 2003 DNS it was granted access to this object only.
Does anyone know about this change and would it be o.k. to change the

Title: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Windows 2003 Cluster
Yes, I pulled up the config gui and read the config
and compared the functioning node's config with the failing nodes config and
they are identical. The HBA sees all assigned LUNS as well. I dont
think it is a storage issue. I have been on the
I'm interested to hear how it works out.
When I mentioned the HBA, I was thinking more along the lines of ensuring that
there are no issues with the physical hba. When an HBA goes, symptoms are
often strange and not expected. Same for the ports and switches between the
hba and the SAN.
John and Sally are two of the best communicators in the business, I am looking
forward to pre-conference presentation at Novembers IT Forum.
I wonder if this year we will confirm if Sally has legs as in all the
presentations, I have ever been to all I see is her head and torso behind her
demo

I'd like to plan for the past first.
does anyone know of good examples for documenting your stuff when leaving a

since i'm taking the job, i want to document all my changes and configs for my

The biggest one that comes to mind is to write it with the idea that the person
who reads won't be familiar with the company. By that I mean that you may want
to write WHY vs. what because the next person should know the technical bits
else know where to look, but nobody but you can know why

The MS courses you mention are often available to Partners as well
(not just customers with premier contracts) so you might want to check
into that if you are working for an MS Partner.
That NetPro webinar looks good though, I'd definitely attend that.

I work independently, and where I used to work at a large bank, I am now
consulting for multiple organisations, so I have neither access to a premier
support contract or any Microsoft partner resources.
So I have to scavenge courses where I can; I am always looking for the best

Hi Mark,
MSEtechnology offer's a number of AD classes, some of which were formerly MS
internal-only and most of which incorporate extensive DR content. I'm
uncertain as to your requirements or your preferred delivery logistics.

Title: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: new job
Great answer. Why is perfect. That can tell you far more
than anything else. Also if there is something specific you avoid put that in as
well.
Overall, this is something that should be done on a running
basis even if it is just emails in your drafts
Aside from notes and drafts and config dumps, is there any formal way people
keep and maintain changes and documentation?
Or is this all done on the fly kinda thing usually?
Thanks

assume it means
changing the policy for any machine you want this functionality on, say
for
instance the DC policy for only on DCs and other policies say the domain

Yes.
Do you happen to have a setting laying about that lets you specify
I may have missed the post regarding this option but since I don't see it;
have you reviewed the mS-DS-CreatorSID property. It's an optional
attribute per computer account. Each time a user adds a computer by
utilizing a specific privilege within AD, a query is executed by the DC

Great advice as usual. It's a usually thought of as a living document.
Considering you have nothing today, it's best to start the ball rolling (so to
speak) and get the basics in there. Just like a political office, it's up to
