SYMPTOMS
If you create multiple spooler resources by using the command line-based utility, Cluster.exe, only the first spooler resource comes online. The other resources do not, and the following error is generated:

Event ID 1069

Source: ClusSvc

Description: Cluster resource spooler failed



CAUSE
You can only have one spooler resource per group. The Cluster Administrator utility does not perform a check to see if a spooler resource already exists. If you attempt to create multiple Print Spooler resources through Cluster Administrator (CluAdmin.exe), it will generate the following error:

An Error occurred attempting to set properties:

The object already exists

Error ID: 5010



RESOLUTION
Delete the additional spooler resources in the same group, and then create them in separate groups.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Cluster.exe in the products listed in the beginning of this article.
