Hello everyone,

I am trying to install a SQL server 2005 on a cluster but It does not succeed.

At the end of the installation in Configuring components ... of SQL Server
database services step, I recive the following message :

"SQL Server Setup failed to modify security permissions on WMI namespace
\\.\root\Microsoft\SqlServer\ServerEvents\InstanceName. To proceed, verify
that the account and domain running SQL server Setup exist, that the account
running SQL Server Setup has administrator privileges, and that the WMI
namespace exists on the destination drive."

I verified the points mentioned in this message and everything is right but
I can not finish the installation.

Has anybody experienced something similar?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,

Since you have provided no details, it would be very difficult for anyone to
provide anything but the most generic responses.

You might want to post the output of the setup logs to determine a more
precise failure issue.

Sincerely,

Anthony Thomas
