The goal of this series of tips is to be able to help DBAs who may be charged with installing SQL Server on a Windows Server 2008 cluster. Dealing with clustering is a totally different story. Installing SQL Server on a stand-alone server or member server in the domain is pretty straight-forward. Now that both SQL Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 are out in the market for quite some time, it would be a must to prepare ourselves to be able to setup and deploy a clustered environment running both. Microsoft has redefined clustering with Windows Server 2008, making it simpler and easier to implement. It took quite a lot of effort for us to build a cluster in Windows Server 2003 - from making sure that the server hardware for all nodes are cluster-compatible to creating resource groups. There have been a lot of changes regarding clustering between Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008.
