We have a sql2005 active/passive win2003 x64 cluster. when the db's are on
the active node..we see all of the sql tools available. on the passive node,
we don't. is this by design as we did a complete install. any help is
appreciated. thx. steve

You can do a workstation components only install on the "other" node. The
tools installation component is not cluster-aware. There is no problem with
adding the tools to additional cluster nodes.

Do you have a link to the instructions..and should it be failed over to the
other node when doing this? Thanks. Steve

Run the installer. When you get to the components selection screen, run
"Workstation Components". Then re-run the service pack.
