SQL 2005 Cluster install - Management Studio missing on second nod

Hey All,

I've tried this a couple of times and I keep getting the same result...  
When I install SQL 2005 Std it only installs the SQL Management Studio and
most of the client tools on the actual node that I'm running setup.exe from.  
The SQL Server works on both nodes but I cannot manage from the second node.

When I try to install the Management components on the 2nd node it tells me
that they are already installed.  I've uninstalled and started over from
scratch multiple times and it always behaves exactly the same.

I think I've got a pretty basic configuration... 2 node active/passive
cluster...

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Try to Terminal into the VIRTUAL server, have a look if the Management Studio
is installed. Failover to the second node and see if you can still access the
Management Studio.

That is a known issue.  Check the ReadMe file on the SQL CD.  SQL Client
tool installs are not cluster-aware and only install to the local node..

The problem wasn't that the tools weren't installed by default, the problem
was that when I went to the 2nd node to manually install the tools they
refused to install (saying that the tools were already installed).  

I ended up having to delete the "tools" directory on the 2nd node (which
didn't really have anything in it but was created by setup) and then I was
finally able to install the tools on that node.
