This article was previously published under Q270839



SYMPTOMS
When you install SQL Server 7.0 Enterprise Edition on a Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS), an error message similar to following occurs (the hex numbers may vary from one computer to the next):

Setup cannot grant log on as a service right to the specified account: 2117340 (0xc0000022)



CAUSE
The preceding error message occurs when you install SQL Server 7.0 Enterprise Edition on a Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) if you are logged on to the computer with an account that does not have enough permissions on both nodes.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior:  Create a Microsoft Windows NT domain service account for SQL Server. If you already have a Microsoft Windows NT domain service account, verify that it has the following advanced user rights:  Act as part of the operating system. Logon as a service. Logon locally.

 Make sure that this account is a member of the local Administrators group on both nodes.</li> Logon to both nodes in the cluster by using the SQL Server Service account from step 1.</li> Install Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 Enterprise Edition from the CD.</li></ol>
