Hello,

I am hoping that someone may be able to help with a problem on a W2K
Advanced Server with SQL Enterprise 2K.

The problem is that we had a massive hardware failure of the cluster and
both servers due to a faulty UPS and high voltage surge. This rendered the
cluster unusable. We have now managed to get the cluster running which
originally had Exchange and SQL on, and Exchange is now running again.

The problem is with SQL server which we could not get running despite
several attempts. We rescued the data and moved it to a new SQL server and
did a forced uninstall of SQL server from both cluster nodes.

Everything is fine except when you go into Cluster Administrator, we get the
following error :

"An error occured attempting to read properties for the 'SQL Server'
resource type:
Invalid class string
Error ID:-2147221005 (800401f3).

Also within Cluster Configuration > Resource types, the Sql Server
(SQSRVRES.DLL) and Sql Server Agent (SQAGTRES.DLL) are showing as errors
(which is not a surprise as they are no longer there).

Does anyone know how I can force Cluster Administrator to forget these
Resouce Types ever existed.

Thanks.


Martin Johnstone

Martin,

You can delete the unwanted resource types using cluster.exe.

cluster restype "unwanted-resource-type-name" /delete /type

Hope this helps.
