Hi

I'm trying to setup log shipping between two 2-node Active/Passive clusters and I keep getting an error "Unable to copy the initialization file to the secondary server".

I've search KB, to find an article KB/811890, but both clusters are in the same domain, and thus this article shouldn't apply. However, I'll try anything, so I have re-registered the second (log ship recipient) cluster as per the recommendations (SERVERNAME.DOMAIN), but still get the same message.

I know its probably me that doing something wrong, but I'm stuck at what.

I have tried registering the instances in the following ways.
- Using the Cluster name (as opened within Cluster Administrator)
- Using the Virtual Server Name (as provided within the SQL Install)
- Using the Cluster IP Address
- Using the Virtual SQL Server IP Address

In all cases, I either get the same error, or don't get that far.

Can you please assist?

Thanks, in advance for your assistance.
