Error 0x8007042b

Hi,

I have a Windows Server 2003 Cluster with two nodes.  I needed restart the
second node for maintenance, after that the Cluster Service on second node
stop ... The first node it's ok.

I tried "Evict Node" and join again, but when the setup try to start cluster
service I receive the following error:

Error 0x8007042b: The process terminated unexpectedly.

I read the KB 890761 and I installed the special fix, but its doesn't work.
I not applied any security templates, I  not changed the password of cluster
admin account  ...

There aren't much articles about it. Does anyone has any suggestion ?

thanks,
Rubens

Hi Rubens,

Please ensure that the Cluster Service Account (CSA) for the domain has the 
following Local Policy User Rights mentioned in the article below:

How to Manually Re-Create the Cluster Service Account

I had similar issue once that the same error would continue to occur until 
the CSA password was to greater than 15 characters.  Can you give this a 
try?

828861 Cluster service account password must be set to 15 or more 
characters if

Another thing you can check would be in the registry the 
LMCompatibilityLevel on both of these nodes match up to what is set on the 
DC.
