Hi all,
I'm trying to add a new node to our SQL Server 2000 SP4 cluster. Cluster
node is Windows 2003 SP1. I can add the node to the SQL cluster, but when I
try to add SP4 to the new node, I get an error message when I enter in the
service password for the instance.
Error message : Setup cannot verify/grant logon as service right to the SQL
Server service logon account: 5000 (0x1388)
However, this error didn't come up when I was adding the node to the SQL
cluster and it prompted me for the same password. We're running an
active/active configuration and I can't do anything with the other instance
(the default one) as it says that this instance is still waiting for the
service pack!
Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance
Dave

Dave,
It looks like a permission issue. Does the Windows domain a/c that you are using the setup have local admin privileges on both the cluster nodes? Try running the setup using the virtual SQL Server service a/c or the
cluster service a/c ?

Are you using the NEED_SP_KEY in the registry. If yes, then remove this key and re-run SP4 from the original node (i.e the node that is already on SP4 and owns the SQL resources) and see if this helps?

|||Hello, I'm having the same problem, but I don't know what you mean by this
NEED_SP_KEY I can't find any information on it. If you could shed some light
on this I would greatly appreciate it!

|||Depending on certain parameters, the Need_SP_Key is added to the new node by the setup process when the node is
added to the SQL failover cluster.
Check (on all nodes) if you have the following key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Need_SP_Key
If yes, then delete it. Then try to install the service pack 4 from the active node where SQL Server is currently running.
If no, then you might be having a different issue. Give more details for us to help you.

For me this does not realy help. The node needs to be a possible owner of
the sql resources or else, the node is not updated. When you have just added
the node by the advanced sql setup option, this is not the case yet.
The second problem is, that this way sp4 updates all the nodes and takes the
SQL resources OFFLINE.
I tried installing SP3 first, which is not a goed idea. The sqlsetup runs
fine, the node becomes a possible owner but can't be used (sql wil not come
online), the NEED_SP_KEY dissapears, with means SP4 wants to reapply totaly.
Restoring the NEED_SP_KEY solves this but then the "Setup cannot
verify/grant logon as service right..." is back.
So adding a SP4 node without takeing SQL temporarily offline is not possible.

p.s.
SP4 was installed with a enterprise admin account.
