Error install sql on cluster - unable to validate domain group

  • I am attempting to setup a sql 2005 cluster, I have gotten as far as the Domain Groups for Clustered Services in sql install utility. I am installing the 64bit Enterprise version of sql 2005 and I am receiving the following message:

    TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Setup

    ------------------------------

    You do not have privileges to add accounts to the domain groups specified for this failover cluster. Ask your domain administrator for privileges to add new accounts to the domain groups, or log on using an account that does have permission.

    The domain group cannot be validated for the service Full-Text Search.

    ------------------------------

    BUTTONS:

    OK

    ------------------------------

    In the previous step I was able to select Customize for each service account and give the username and password for each the sql server, browser, and agent, but there isn't an option for full-text. The next step is the one above that is getting the error which only lets me add domain groups for sql server, sql server agent, and full-text search. This is failing due the inability to add the username and login for the full-text search. The other do domain groups validated without issue. I would appreciate any advice anyone can offer to resolve or get around this issue. Thanks in advance!!

  • Not sure of the cause of this but you could try unselecting the "Customize Service Accounts" checkbox, so that all services use the same account.

    Then if the install is successful, change each one afterwards using Configuration Manager.

    I'll take off my cowboy hat now!
