    Service patches cause Cluster Administrator not to work corr

    All,
    I recently brought up the first machine in an Exchange 2003/Windows 2003
    cluster. I did this before updating my server with the lates patches.
    Everything worked fine until I installed the patches, then suddenly the
    cluster administrator would not connect to the cluster by name without
    error, but only by "." Here is the error:

    Access is denied
    Error ID: 5 (00000005)

    To me this is unacceptable, so I called support, and wasn't able to get an
    answer there so that's when stuff REALLY started to suck. But I have a main
    question, and some supplimental questions. My first question is that now I
    need to manually remove that Exchange server from the Org. Anyone know of
    some good tips/advice for that? I was just thinking of deleting it from
    ESM, and attempting to delete the resources from the cluster (I haven't done
    that yet because I was hoping to get it to remove normally).

    Supplimental Question 1: Anyone ever run into the error above? Did you fix
    it?

    I thought there was another question too, but I don't remember now.
    Thanks,
    Pair

    I don't know if this will help, but, when I haven't been able to connect to
    the cluster using the virtual name, I was able to connect to it using the
    name of one of the servers in the cluster.

    I am not sure whaty happens but apparently this refreshed the pointers on
    the machine connecting to the cluster. Once I did this I was then able to
    connect to it using the virtual name.
