Windows Security Wizard on a Cluster server

Hi,

I am trying to apply a security policy on a windows 2003 r2 x64 cluster server using the windows security wizard. but when i try to apply the policy it fails. it comes up with the following error:

Error configuring C:\ WINDOWS\security\msscw\ConfigureFiles\Services.inf Access is denied.

The access to that folder allows read/write/execute for local administrators. so thats not the problem

The policy works fine on other non cluster servers.

Any ideas??

Thanks

I know nothing about clustering, but as a guess is there a domain involved where you may need to add a particular domain account access?

It is on a domain, i have tried using local user accounts and domian admins that have been added to the administrators group on the server.

Sorry, your problem is out of my area of knowledge, perhaps a clustering guru will jump in.

Hello,

be carefull when applying security templates to cluster nodes.

The following rights have to be granted to the cluster service account:

It is not recommended to apply standard security templates to cluster nodes (hisec template e.g.).

Thanks,

Is there any other way of replicating what the security wizard does without going through every service and manually changing the state and manually blocking or permitting ports?

Thanks again
