    Tested select * from ::fn_virtualservernodes() on both 2005 and 2008 clusters and it returned correct results for both.

    So apparently all the three answers are correct?

    Everybody wins!...

    When I run "select * from ::fn_virtualservernodes()", this returns no error but an empty resultset (I don't run any failover cluster, so that is to be expected).
