New Dell VRTX server with 2 server blades. Installed Server 2012 R2 on both blades and all working ok.
Ran the 'Validate Configuration' wizard and all ok apart from Storage Spaces, which we won't need as we have hardware RAID.
Then ran create cluster wizard and works ok until it goes to create and then fails:-
Adding special permissions to the computer object failed.
Trying to add 'Full-Access' permissions for security principal
S-1-5-21-1054053922-559824688-2072063007-68696 to computer object
CN=UKWOR-CLUSTER01,OU=Cluster,OU=SERVER,OU=HAR,OU=UK,OU=AVL,DC=xxxx,DC=xxxx,DC=lan
failed. Verify that the user running create cluster has permissions to update
the computer object in Active Directory Domain Services. The parameter is
incorrect.
| "CreateClusterNameCOIfNotExists (6888): Configuring Computer Object UKWOR-CLUSTER01 to act as the CNO on DC \\ xxx.lan" |
| "CreateClusterNameCOIfNotExists (6916): Configuring Cluster CNO resource." |
| "CreateClusterNameCOIfNotExists (6942): Cannot provide user special permissions to the object. Error <87> (Step ErrorPutSD)." |
| "PhaseManager::EndPhase (235): Phase 109 |
| "CreateNetworkName (4618): Failed to create Computer Object for NetName Cluster Name on DC \\ xxx.lan. Error 87." |
I've tried this also by pre-creating the computer object (in the right OU and following guides online for setting the permissions, disabling it etc. I do not have Domain Admin rights as we are a large multi-national company. But I can create computer accounts in my OU and I have given the administrator account that's logged into the servers the same rights on the relevant OU.
Any suggestions or ideas as to what I can do to progress with this as I've run out of ideas :(
