Hi,

I am currently evaluating a SQL 2008 R2 cluster setup an ran into two 
problems:

1. After setup of the initial node I can not put the service online. It 
fails due to unability to create the computer object inside the domain.
(sorry that I can not provide the original error message, I use a german 
version and have to translate the message, so the original englich 
message should be different).
I checked permissions and it should work, but it does not.
I found someone with a similar problem who said that the problem 
disappeared after he set up the second node.

And this leads to problem 2:

2. While setting up the second node, the setup routine queries the 
accounts for the services.
Sadly, it does not discover an account for the SQL Server Agent, so the 
entry is empty and I can not enter an account name because the input 
field is grayed out. The setup refuses to continue and asks me to 
provide an account for the agent.

Does anyone has an idea about this?

Thanks,
Jan
