Cluster problem

[Guest]

I have a 2 node cluster ( a & b ) using the MS 2k AS
cluster service. The 1st node ( a ) was accidentally
deleted and the cluster service was uninstalled. When
trying configuring the cluster service on the a node I
come to a screen that says select an account. That screen
has user name & domain name as localsystem, both are
grayed out. The only place for me to enter data is the
password part, after this I always get a message that
says specified account is not vailid. Help please

Check the cluster service account on your working node. Make sure that it's
using a domain account with local admin rights to the box. If you change
this value, you'll need to re-start cluster services for it to take affect.
