I need to move my clustered SQL server from one domain to
a new domain within our AD test environment.

I have not been able to find a white paper or much of
anything relating to Windows2000 (not Windows NT 4) and
moving a clustered SQL server from one domain to another.

Any suggestions? or thoughts?

All help is appreciated.

Here is a brief order of what I did during a migration from NT 4.0 to
Windows 2000 AD.
I used the Migration wizard moving from NT 4.0 to Windows 2000 AD. I use
the migration wizard and had no issues on many clusters.

1 - Move all cluster resources to Node 1.
2 - Power down node 2
3 - Take all resources except the Cluster Resource
4 - power down the cluster service on node 1.
5 - Go into Services control panel on Node 1 - Change the Cluster Service
Account, Change the SQL Server and SQL Agent Service accounts to the new
domain services accounts.
6 - Move to the new domain and reboot Node 1.
7 - Once everything comes back up one Node 1, change the Services Accounts
on Node 2, reboot and test.
