Time: 9:20:20 AM

User: N/A

Computer: Node01

Description:

CAUSE
The account name used to start the SQL Server services contains spaces.



WORKAROUND
Start the SQL Server services with an account name that does not have any spaces.



MORE INFORMATION
During the installation of SQL Server Microsoft Search is also installed.

When the cluster resources are being created, the Microsoft Search resource fails to come online if the user account name that is used to start SQL contains spaces. As a result, the installation is rolled back.

When you use an account name that does not have any spaces in the name to start the SQL Server Services, the Microsoft Search resource comes online without any problems.
