This article was previously published under Q249802 SYMPTOMS
When you install the Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 service packs from a CD-ROM to a clustered environment, the following error message occurs at the end of the service pack install, which indicates that some components could not be installed on the remote computer:
Configuration of the remote node failed.
You can view summary information in C: temp\remsetup.log
CAUSE
The SQL Server 7.0 service pack setup uses volume administrative shares for installing any components on the remote computer. If you install a SQL Server 7.0 service pack from CD-ROM, the remote installation process fails because no administrative share is created for CD-ROM drives.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use either of the following methods:
- Copy the SQL Server 7.0 service pack files from CD-ROM to a local hard disk drive, and then install the service pack from the hard disk drive.
-or-
- Temporarily create an administrative share for the CD-ROM drive. For example, if the CD-ROM drive is drive R, share it as R$.
