Just a quick question.  in the "Before you Begin" section, if we don't have any Windows Server 2008 servers in our environment, do we still need to install the QFE's and hotfix and the Microsoft.Windows.Server.2008.Discovery.mp ?

All I am concerned about is Windows Server 2003, we have no plans to implement or support Windows Server 2008 any time soon.

Thanks!

Hey Boris,

Have you seen any issues with this MP? We have recently deployed it and consistently get the error below. It looks like the vbs script fails because it doesn't use pktprivacy authenticaion level when attaching to the root\mscluster namespace.

Forced to terminate the following process started at 12:38:59 PM because it ran past the configured timeout 300 seconds. Command executed: "C:\Windows\system32\cscript.exe" /nologo "DiscoverClustering.vbs" {17520AAB-F22A-EB73-4E91-59A089AA68DC} {985E9DE3-6095-45CD-F615-A5D172303201} SDFCLST001.domain.local SDFCLST001 false {DA9BF4D4-17DA-0343-2906-D711A7689D8E} {C04320C1-6899-8B10-FD6F-E785A0DD0625} {A0D8689D-5653-09F6-3305-45373FA9FB45} {064EC4FD-25A1-38D2-C18D-A53FD57393DF}

Thanks,

I did try running it from the command line and it takes a while to run. This is a 8 node Hyper-V cluster, so it has quite a few resources, 485 actually. After the script runs I had the below entry in the App event log. I did not try to change the script timeout as I'm not sure where that setting is.

Access to the root\mscluster namespace was denied because the namespace is marked with RequiresEncryption but the script or application attempted to connect to this namespace with an authentication level below Pkt_Privacy. Change the authentication level to Pkt_Privacy and run the script or application again.

Thanks,

Andy
