1. Copy Mdutil.exe from the Support folder in the Application Center 2000 installation source to the folder that contains the Application Center 2000 program files, which is normally Program Files/Microsoft Application Center.
2. Create a file named Q304594.bat on the new cluster controller and copy the following code into it:

   @echo off 
   REM Batch file to create the Cluster Configuration Settings Replication (CCS) definition 
   if {%1}=={} (
    goto usage
   )
   if {%2}=={} (
    goto usage
   )
   if {%3}=={} (
    goto usage
   ) 
   
   mdutil enum_all appcenter/replications
   
   mdutil create /appcenter/replications/%1
   mdutil set /appcenter/replications/%1 -prop 57804 -value 0x80040E
   mdutil set /appcenter/replications/%1 -prop 57808 -value 0x0 
   mdutil set /appcenter/replications/%1 -prop 57801 -value %3
   mdutil set /appcenter/replications/%1 -prop 57802 -value "" -attrib SECURE
   mdutil set /appcenter/replications/%1 -prop 57803 -value  MB:/LM/AppCenter/Cluster,NET:/NLB,NET:/NIC
   mdutil set /appcenter/replications/%1 -prop 57807 -value "Cluster Configuration Settings"
   
   mdutil create /appcenter/replications/%2
   mdutil set /appcenter/replications/%2 -prop 57804 -value 0x80000E
   mdutil set /appcenter/replications/%2 -prop 57808 -value 0x0 
   mdutil set /appcenter/replications/%2 -prop 57801 -value %3
   mdutil set /appcenter/replications/%2 -prop 57802 -value "" -attrib SECURE
   mdutil set /appcenter/replications/%2 -prop 57803 -value NET:/NLB,NET:/NIC
   mdutil set /appcenter/replications/%2 -prop 57807 -value "Network Configuration Settings"
   
   
   mdutil enum_all appcenter/replications
   
   goto End
   
   :usage
   @echo on
   @echo.
   @echo Usage:
   @echo    Q304594.bat CCS Replication Definition Name 
   @echo                NCS Replication Definition Name 
   @echo                "Comma-separated List Of Cluster Servers"
   @echo.
   @echo    The Cluster Configuration Settings (CCS) Replication Definition Name can be obtained from the MB key 57430 under appcenter/cluster MB path
   @mdutil get Appcenter/cluster -prop 57430
   @echo.
   @echo    The Network Configuration Settings (NCS) Replication Definition Name can be obtained from the MB key 57437 under appcenter/cluster MB path
   @mdutil get Appcenter/cluster -prop 57437
   @echo.
   @echo    The members of this cluster are:
   @echo off
   mdutil enum Appcenter/cluster/clusterdirectory/servers
   :End
   					

3. Open a commend prompt and run Q304594.bat with no arguments. (This will return the argument strings that you will need to use when you run the Q304594 command again to actually fix the problem in step 4.) Your output will resemble the following:

   Usage:
      Q304594.bat CCS Replication Definition Name
                  NCS Replication Definition Name
                  "Comma-separated List Of Cluster Servers"
   
      The Cluster Configuration Settings (CCS) Replication Definition Name can be o
   btained from the MB key 57430 under appcenter/cluster MB path
   57430                         : [Wc]    (STRING) "RICHAULT03ASX999655705X128301X
   29"
   
      The Network Configuration Settings (NCS) Replication Definition Name can be o
   btained from the MB key 57437 under appcenter/cluster MB path
   57437                         : [Wc]    (STRING) "RICHAULT03ASX999655705X229369X
   29"
   
      The members of this cluster are:
     WebClusterAssignedPriorities  : [IWc]   (BINARY) 0x20 1f
   [/Appcenter/cluster/clusterdirectory/servers/RICHAULT02AS]
   [/Appcenter/cluster/clusterdirectory/servers/RICHAULT03AS]
   						

4. Run Q304594.bat again and this time use the combined results from step 3. In this example, you would enter on a single command line:Q304594 RICHAULT03ASX999655705X128301X29 RICHAULT03ASX999655705X229369X29 "RICHAULT02AS,RICHAULT03AS"

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Add a member to a cluster and clear the Automatically synchronize this cluster member box on the Add Cluster Member Wizard's Cluster Member Options page.
2. Designate the newly added, unsynchronized member as cluster controller.
3. Try designating another controller or adding or removing a cluster member.
