I recently moved a cluster out of a one domain to the
next. Worked through all the issues and I am still having
a problem I can not seem to resolve.

When I try to fail over to the second node, I see that
SQL Network Name(virtualnamegiven)in cluster
administrator fails. When I look in event viewr I get
multiple errors all containing this error, Cluster
resource 'SQL Network Name(virtualnamegiven)' failed.

Has anyone ever seen this or know how to troubleshoot
this problem. Any help would be appreciated. Please email
me at tim.johnson (AT) instinet (DOT) com.

Thanks

When you bring a "name" resource on line we are trying to register the DSN
name with Active Directory. YOu need to find put what is preventing the
Name from coming online on the network.

Try PING by the "name" while it is off-line. You should NOT get a
response.

Also, wee if there is a HOST entry with the name, but with the old IP
address.
