"Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS) cluster verification errors" failed.

One of my friend received the below shown error during the add node installation of SQL Server 2008 on a Windows Server 2008 machine.

Solution: If we are sure that the cluster verification doesn't have any issue, we can complete the installation using the below commands.


For an integrated failover Add-Note setup, run the following command on each node that is being added:
Setup /SkipRules=Cluster_VerifyForErrors /Action=InstallFailoverCluster
For an advanced or enterprise installation, run the following command:
Setup /SkipRules=Cluster_VerifyForErrors /Action=CompleteFailoverCluster
If you receive this validation failure when you add a node to an existing failover installation, run the following command on each node that is being added: 
Setup /SkipRules=Cluster_VerifyForErrors /Action=AddNode

    2. The steps which i mentioned here is just to skip the rule check at the start of the installation. Password is required at the next level, so check password is not expired or the account is not locked.
