SYMPTOMS

During the Analyzing Configuration phase of a server cluster configuration, the computer may display both a list of items that are going to be tested and a status of each test. (The status of an item is indicated by a check mark, exclamation point, or a red-colored stop sign.) While the analysis is being performed on the items, you can select an item and review its detailed status report. However, if you select an item that has not yet been analyzed, you may receive a status of "0x00000000" and the following description may be displayed: "The operation completed successfully." Even though this description may give you the impression that a task has completed, the task may not have even been attempted.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, wait until the Analyzing Configuration phase is complete, and then search for your particular item. When you have located your item, it must have one of the following symbols beside it: a check mark, an exclamation point, or a red-colored stop sign.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
