I am installing a new instance on my existing SQL cluster. I installed the new instance on the first node with no issues at all. Now I am trying to get the 2nd node installed and I keep getting the following error:
The credentials you provided for the SQL Server Agent service are invalid. To continue, provide a valid account and password for the SQL Server Agent service.
The credentials you provided for the SQL Server service are invalid. To continue, provide a valid account and password for the SQL Server service.
The username/password combo I am using is the exact same as the one I am using on node 1 but for some reason keeps failing. I have tried the following:
1. Made sure the account is not locked out.
2. I am able to log on to node 2 using the account that fails during install
3. I have granted the account logon as service and batch.
4. I have made the account a member of the local admins group on node 2.
Despite all of this I keep getting the error that the credentials are invalid when I KNOW they are not. What is going on here?
