Hi all,

I'm trying to insert a new sql server cluster node on my cluster environment. My cluster group is named "SQL Cluster Group". I already have one node working properly, when I try to add the second node in the user and password validation I got the message:

"SQL Server Setup could not validate the service accounts. Either the service accounts have not been provided for all of the services being installed, or the specified username or password is incorrect. For each service, specify a valid username, password, and domain, or specify a built-in system account."

I noticed that a "ghost" space appears just before the domain name and the security event viewer shows an "unknow user or password" event.

But, the user password is correct and the user is local admin, domain admin and sql admin. It has all rights granted.

I found a Microsoft article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955506/en-us, but I don't have any trailing space in the cluster group name.

So... what could I possibly had missed here? Any clues?

Is it possible that the password has been changed since the service was last started and the system is using a set of cached credentials with an invalid password? Does not seem likely to me, but I cannot imagine anything else...
