Hi,
We have an active and a passive node clusters. After applying Win2k SP4,
the active node is up and running but we can't get the passive node to work.
Appreciate your help.

Here are the errors in the event log.

Event ID :10005

disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it." Attempting

devmgmt.msc, and then click OK.

already selected.
