This article was previously published under Q303127 SYMPTOMS When you try to connect to or administer a cluster that is
running a different language than the cluster from which you are connecting,
you may receive the following error message and you may not be able to connect:
The network path was not found.
Error ID: 53
(00000035) CAUSE This problem occurs because the server cluster components
are dependent on network basic input/output system (NetBIOS) for cluster
communication. When you try to connect to a cluster name that is not an
English-language cluster and that contains characters that are not
English-language characters, a damaged string may be displayed in Cluster
Administrator (Cluadmin.exe). The same problem occurs if a cluster node that is
running the English-language attempts to join a cluster that is not an
English-language cluster if that cluster contains characters that are not
English-language characters.
Note: This article describes problems that you may have when you use
the English-language version and a version that is not an English-language
version. This problem may also occur on two different versions that are not
English-language versions if you try to connect the nodes to one another.
RESOLUTION To resolve this problem, use English-language characters
for all nodes and virtual servers in the cluster. If a cluster is using a
different language, connect to it with another computer that is using the same
language.
STATUSMicrosoft
