Hello,

I'm trying to setup SQL Server SP4 on a windows 2003 cluster, but the
setup hangs on the Validating User dialog box,  I've seen the sqlsp.log
file and it seems the program hangs when it stops and starts the SQL
service with the SCM.exe program. After 20 minutes or so, the program
throws a timeout error.

here is part of the log file:

19:02:29 c:\Temp\1\SqlSetup\Bin\scm.exe  -Silent 1 -Action 6 -Service
MSSQL$TRASQL001
19:02:29 Process Exit Code: (0)

////////// Here the scm stops the server without problems

19:02:29 c:\Temp\1\SqlSetup\Bin\scm.exe  -Silent 1 -Action 1 -Service
MSSQL$TRASQL001   -StartupOptions \-T4022

////////// When the scm tries to start the service, it stays there and
eventually sends a timeout error.

Please if anyone can help me it will be greatly appreciated.

LCB
