The sql server service doesn't start b/c it appears the password isn't
being stored after the node reboots. I've gone into Enterprise Mgr to
retype the domain acct and pwd and save... I've also retyped the pwd
from Manage/Services. It stores it up until the node is rebooted. Then
the pwd is no longer valid.

Has anyone seen this before?

Sounds like the registry key isn't being written to the cluster store.
Change the service account and move the service to another cluster node.
That will force a key flush to all nodes. Then you can do a reboot and it
should save the password.
