SYMPTOMS
When you are attempting to remotely administer a Windows NT 4.0 Clustering server by using the Windows 2000 Cluster Administrator tool, there is no option available by which to set authorization permissions for cluster administration.



CAUSE
The administration extension for the new Security tab is not registered on the Windows NT 4.0 cluster.



RESOLUTION
To enable this functionality, execute the following command from a command prompt of the Windows 2000 computer

%SystemRoot%\cluster\cluster.exe -c:NT4ClusterName /regext:cluadmex.dll

where NT4ClusterName is the name of the cluster. For example:

c:\winnt\cluster\cluster.exe -c:MYCLUSTER /regext:cluadmex.dll



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Windows 2000.



MORE INFORMATION
When you are using Windows NT 4.0 Cluster Administrator, permissions on Windows NT 4.0 clusters are assigned by using the Permissions button on the General tab of the cluster properties sheet. In Windows 2000 Cluster Administrator, this functionality is located on the Security tab. When you are using the Windows 2000 Cluster Administrator to connect to a Windows NT 4.0 cluster, neither of these methods are available until the Cluadmex.dll file has been successfully registered on the Windows NT 4.0 cluster nodes. After successful registration, the Security tab becomes available on all future Windows 2000 Cluster Administrator remote connections.
