I'm in a bit of a bind and I could really use some help. This morning, we
rebooted one of the cluster nodes in our two node W2K3 cluster. The first
indication of a problem is that nothing failed over to the second node and
then when the first node came back up, the cluster service failed to start
with the message "a required privilege is not held by the client". After
restarting the second node's cluster service, it fails with the same error.
I'm at a complete loss to explain why this is happening and how to fix it,
so if anybody could provide some insight, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.

Ok, my fault ... I change the "Backup Files and Directories" right for the
cluster's group policy and didn't include the cluster service's service
account in the list. Everything works just fine now. Thanks anyways.

Has anything changed with the account the cluster service runs under? Make
sure that the account is a member of the local administrators group on both
nodes and that the domain account used for the cluster service is not locked
or disabled. If you are really stuck you could try making the cluster
service account a domain adminstrator just to get you running. If that does
not work then it sounds like something was specifically changed on the user
rights for the service account.

Good Luck!
