Cluster service doesn't remember password of assigned account

[peter]

Hopefully somebody is able to help me with the following:

We have 2 servers running on W2K Adv. server sp3 with a
cluster attached.
When 1 server goes down for whatever reason, than the
other server should take over the cluster.
The problem is that the cluster service on both machines
will not remember the password for the assigned account to
start the service. Everytime I have to type the proper
password again for the service to start.
Error message: Error 1069: The service did not start due
to a logon failure.
After having typed the password, then the service starts,
and the problem is solved until the next fail-over.

Already checked everything stated by Microsoft.

Try the following KB:

If that doesn't help, then take a look at the logon account in the cluster
service properties box. If the cluster service account shows up using the
(e-mail address removed) format, then you should try changing this to the
"domain\user" format instead.
