Error message when you add a node to a SQL Server 2005 failover cluster on the Service Account page of the SQL Server 2005 Setup Wizard: "SQL Server Setup could not validate the service accounts"
Consider the following scenario. When you install a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 failover
cluster, you specify a SQL Server resource group. The name of the SQL Server resource group contains a trailing
space. After the installation, you add a node to the SQL Server 2005 failover cluster. On the
Service Account page of the SQL Server 2005 Setup Wizard, you provide the correct
account information. In this scenario, you receive the following
error message when you click
Next:
SQL Server Setup could not validate the
service accounts. Either the service accounts have not been provided for all of
the services being installed, or the specified username or password is
incorrect. For each service, specify a valid username, password, and domain, or
specify a built-in system account.
To work around this problem, delete the trailing space in
the name of the SQL Server resource group.
If you are using Windows Server 2008, follow these steps:
- In Control Panel, double-click Administrative
Tools, and then double-click Failover Cluster
Management.
- In Failover Cluster Management, expand Services and Applications, right-click the SQL
Server resource group of the failover cluster, and then click
Rename.
- Delete the trailing space in the name.
If you are using
Windows Server 2003, follow these steps:
- In Control Panel, double-click Administrative
Tools, and then double-click Cluster
Administrator.
- In Cluster Administrator,
expand Groups, right-click the SQL Server resource group of
the failover cluster, and then click Rename.
- Delete the trailing space in the name.
