Active Directory Permissions for Cluster Accounts

Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2

When you create a new clustered service or application, a computer object (computer account) for that clustered service or application must be created in the Active Directory domain. This computer object is created by the computer object of the cluster itself. If the computer object of the cluster itself does not have the appropriate permissions, it cannot create or update the computer object for the clustered service or application.
