  • Is there anything useful in the SQL error log?

  • An educuated guess is that a dependant resource is not configured properly.

  • Just wanted to follow-up to follow-uppers....thanks for your replies. 3rd times a charm after 2 rebuilds. Not sure if it made the difference, but I instructed the sysadmins to make sure the network binding order was correct. Cluster validation passed all the way, and sql went thru (FINALLY!!)

    Wasn't sure about the instance name vs. instance id - got confused on that.... Thx again

    Oh, I thought I was at the Star Wars convention, but glad to see fellow sql guys online 🙂 ...May the force be with you!!!

  • I'm having the same issue and that is -

    Detailed results:

    Feature: Database Engine Services

    Status: Failed: see logs for details

    MSI status: Passed

    Configuration status: Failed: see details below

    Configuration error code: 0x1C2074D8@1216@1

    Configuration error description: The cluster resource 'SQL Server' could not be brought online. Error: The resource failed to come online due to the failure of one or more provider resources. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80071736)

    Configuration log: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log\20101215_104053\Detail.txt

    I ALSO RECEIVED THE NETWORK BINDING ORDER WARNING...BUT CONTINED WITH THE INSTALL. MY WINDOWS ADMIN PERFORMED THE STEPS IN THIS KB (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955963)

    HOWEVER, IT DIDN'T SEEM TO HELP.

    ANY IDEAS??

    Thanks!

  • the network binding error is common on Windows 2008. You need to go into the registry and find the key as follows

    HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCPIP\Linkage

    Check the values for the Bind entry. Compare these against the real adapters in

    HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCPIP\Parameters\Interfaces

    For the Bind entry you should find you just need to bump the top entry down to the bottom and that should be fine!
