The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Zones: SQL Server 2005, Windows 2003 Server

Finished installing Windows 2003 64bit Enterprise SP2, cluster and I am following the standard tests for cluster failures. I was able to successfully do the Moving Groups test via Cluster Admin from the active node to the passive and back again. No errors in the event log on either node. The initiate failure test was also successfull by failing a resource in the cluster group. No errors in the event log on either server. The problem happens when I power down the node one (node one happens to be active). Everthing fails over to the other node find, but when node one is powered up I get an error at the login screen that one or more services failed to start. If I filp the test and make node 2 active and power it down I don't get any service failed messages and the event log is clean. The event error from node one are posted below. The first error is from the application log the second is in the system log. Node one was the node that the cluster was built on and the same one SQL2005 was installed from.
