Hi,

I have deployed windows 2008 cluster on two node Windows Enterprise edition
64 bit machines. SQL 2005 has been successfully deployed but the services not
started due to some know issues for which SQL Service Pack 2 was recommended.

“SQL Server” and “SQL Server Agent” Services are appearing ‘Offline’ while
“SQL Server FullText” is appearing ‘Failed’.

In the failover cluster Management, Services and Application, I have created
“Empty Service or Application” and allocated two shared harddisk [from SAN].
Instead of service pack 2, I try deploying service pack 3 but getting the
following error:

Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (64-bit) -- Error 29527. The setup has
encountered an unexpected error in datastore. The action is
RestoreSetupParams. The error is : Source File Name:
datastore\cachedpropertycollection.cpp
Compiler Timestamp: Mon Nov 17 17:05:55 2008
Function Name: CachedPropertyCollection::findProperty
Source Line Number: 130
----------------------------------------------------------
Failed to find property "OwningGroup" {"VirtualServerInfo", "", ""} in cache

Source Line Number: 113

Is there any resolution for this problem? Most of the newsgroups are
recommending to reinstall SQL and deploy SQL SP2 instead of SP3. That should
be the last resolution, so any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
