2005 cluster install - domain groups

#21

That's what I thought - thanks, I was just a little puzzled when the article
came up as "not found".

Yes, this is still requirement. Domain groups allow permissions to be
set consistently across all cluster nodes while allowing for future
service account changes.

Do not use any built-in domain groups for this, ESPECIALLY Domain Admins.
Create new groups (you can use only one for all three, but it is not best
security practices) and let the cluster installer do its magic.

In the first runs of installing SQL Server 2005 on a cluster, we needed
to
use domain groups for each service as part of the install. It was
something
you couldn't get past.

I have been looking for the article that refers to this and it appears to
no
longer exist.

You must specify the domain groups for the clustered SQL Server services
when you install a SQL Server 2005 failover cluster

Is this still a requirement for a cluster install?

thanks,
