Install fails on x64 cluster nodes.

I can't seem to install SQL Server 2005 (x64 version) on an x64 Win2k3 two node cluster.

I get all the way through the configuration and setup fails because it cannot start a task on the remote node. The error message indicates to check the task scheduler log file, which I have and I cannot find any 'errors' in the file.

Google/MSDN/Technet turn up nothing on multiple searches. Has anyone else run into this problem?

My installation account is a local admin on both machines, so is the sql cluster account. For the life of me I cannot figure out what's different for an x64 install vs 32bit....

Fixed the problem...

My account was not authoritative for the "Domain Services" group.

I have the same problem, can would appreciate it if anyone could elaborate on this "Domain Services" group. What do you mean by not "authoratative" for this group?

Thanks.
