Summary

Failed to add required credentials to the LSA

Resolutions

For the Network Name resource, the privileges needed to add the network name credentials to the local security policy are not assigned. Get more information about the problem by viewing the event in Event Viewer and looking up the error code, so that you can assign the necessary privileges to the appropriate account or accounts. For more information, see 'Opening Event Viewer and viewing events related to failover clustering' and 'Finding more information about error codes that some event messages contain,' later in this topic.

Important You must stop and restart the Cluster service when you perform this procedure, and you might need to perform this procedure on all nodes in the cluster. For more information, see 'Restarting the Cluster service on a node,' later in this topic.

To perform the following procedures, you must be a member of the local Administrators group on each clustered server, and the account you use must be a domain account, or you must have been delegated the equivalent authority.
