SYMPTOMS
When you are running in a mixed version cluster (Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003) and you view entries in the Event Log on the Windows 2000 node, the entries may appear to be missing information. For example:

Event Type: Error

Event Source: ClusSvc

Event Category: Object Mgr

Event ID: 1069

Description: Cluster resource 'XYZ Resource' in Resource Group '%2' failed.

This may occur even though you would expect that the group name that contains 'XYZ Resource' is displayed instead of a '%2' value.



CAUSE
The Cluster Service replicates EventLog entries to all nodes in the cluster. Windows 2000 only uses one argument while Windows Server 2003 can accept multiple arguments. If the Windows Server 2003 node created the Event Log entry, it will have multiple arguments embedded in the log. When this same entry is viewed on a Windows 2000 node, it cannot properly interpret any arguments except for the first one.



RESOLUTION
View the Event Log entry on a Windows Server 2003 cluster node.
