    Hi,

    The sqlstp.log should tell you exactly which share it is looking for on the remote node (to place the setup files). Can't remember off the top of my head if it is looking for \\machinename\admin$ or \\machinename\c$ but check if you can access the shares on Node2 from Node1:

    Start/Run

    \\machinename\admin$

    (c$ or d$).

    You can manage your shares in Administrative Tools/Computer Management/Shares.

    Administrative shares are the ones set up for disks and have the name of the drive letter and a $ sign. So for example c$ is an admin share on the c: drive. These can be disabled by adminstrators - do you know if they have been disabled on the nodes of your cluster?
