SQL 2008 Cluster installation fixes

Spent all day working on trying get one named instance of SQL 2008 installed on a Win 2008 R2 cluster.

Anyway, these are the things I encountered:
  • SQL server 2008 failover cluster 'RequireKerberos' error;  The fix was to slipstream SQL 2008 SP1 into the installation process
  • SQL cluster resource would not startup at end of installation; Name resource could not come online.  The fix was to give cluster computer name FULL CONTROL of the virtual instance names in Active Directory using ADUC.
  • Verification check prior to installation would fail and not allow me to install SQL.   After manual verification that things should be ok, I used this command "setup /SkipRules=Cluster_VerifyForErrors /Action=InstallFailoverCluster /PCUSource=c:\SP1" to finally start up the installation process.
