Microsoft Cluster Server Requires Service Pack 3 or Later. (175779)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition 4.0
- Microsoft Cluster Server
This article was previously published under Q175779 SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) requires Microsoft Windows NT Server,
Enterprise Edition version 4.0 with at least Service Pack 3. If you remove
the service pack or install an earlier version, the following error may
appear in the system event log:
Event: 1012
Source: ClusSvc
Description: Microsoft Cluster Server did not start because the current
version of Windows NT is not correct. Microsoft Cluster
Server runs only on Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition.
If you attempt to install MSCS on a server that does not run the Enterprise
Edition of Windows NT and/or does not have at least Service Pack 3, the
following message may be displayed:
Microsoft Cluster Server runs on either Windows NT 5.0 or on Windows NT
4.0 with Service Pack 3 or higher. Please install the correct version or
service pack and run setup again.
CAUSE
The Enterprise Edition of Microsoft Windows NT requires that Service Pack 3
or later be installed on the server. MSCS has the same service pack
requirement as Enterprise Edition.
This error may be caused by performing an in-place upgrade of the existing
Windows NT installation with the same version of Windows NT without
reapplying the service pack.
RESOLUTION
To resolve either of these situations, make sure the server runs the
Enterprise Edition of Windows NT Server with Service Pack 3 or later.
