CAUSE

The cluster resource for the XLANG Scheduler engine is a generic application resource that is configured to start with the following command line:
dllhost.exe /ProcessId:{DFDE2592-40A4-42BC-A35E-FD0BF76CA4D5}
				
When the Cluster Service attempts to bring this resource online, the following occurs:
  1. The Cluster Service sends a request to the resource monitor process (Resrcmon.exe) to load the resource DLL for that resource and bring it online. The Resrcmon.exe process runs under the context of the Cluster Service Log On account.
  2. The Resrcmon.exe process executes the command line, which invokes Dllhost.exe with the specified process ID.
If Dllhost.exe is running under a different security context than that of the XLANG Scheduler COM+ package created in Component Services, the resource fails to come online and the error is logged in the System event log.

RESOLUTION

Configure the identity for the XLANG Scheduler COM+ package created in Component Services to match the Log On account for the Cluster Service. You can configure this from Programs, click Administrative Tools, and then click Services.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
