MS SQL 2000 and Windows 2003 Cluster

[bryan]

I installed MS SQL 2000 on a Windows 2003 server cluster (no service
packs). Both nodes are online and both domain controllers are online.

I tried to install SP3 and got the following error:

--------------

Logon Account could not be validated.

No authority could be contacted for authentication.

---------------

I installed SQL SP 2 and did not get the error but I do get it every
time I try to install SP3.

Does anybody have an idea that might help resolve the problem.

SP2 isn't supported on Server 2003, although SP3 should install fine:

You might want to post in microsoft.public.sqlserver.clustering, in
case your issue is specific to a cluster setup. You could also call
PSS directly - if you have the resources to plan and implement
clustering then I guess the cost of a support call shouldn't be a
problem. And of course if it's a bug then you aren't charged anyway.

It always pays to look at the simple stuff first. One node of the
cluster was pointing to the wrong DNS.

Never start anything like this on a Friday afternoon.
