    If the listener resources already exist then you should get a message indicating that fact.

    Marios PhilippopoulosAlso in Windows Server 2008 and above, it is not the cluster *service* but the cluster name object (CNO) that needs to have the CreateObjects permission in AD.

    Sorry, yes, the differerences between 2003 and 2008 :blush:

    This link has more detail on pre staging the availability group name objects

    Thank you, that link refers to setting up Exchange, but should be similar to our scenario.
