No matter what you will have down time briefly for the failovers, at least once in an active/passive setup, and multiple times for active/active. If all goes well,...

Did you try any upgrade \CU or SP install? or is this a fresh installation and you are trying to connect for the first time?

Try installing as administrator. Hope your user have full privilege on that machine.

Seems like you never had a successful installation. Check windows log and SQL install log which might help you.

TIA,

Have you done the two things required for prestaging the VCO?

1. Set the option for Protect from accidental deletion on the VCO properties

2. Grant the Cluster Name Object (CNO)...

Anyone?

Try connecting using SSMS as run as administrator.

Hope the domain account you mentioned is login in SQL Server.

Post the full error .

This happens only for 'SA'?

Is this clustered?

After the fact, you don't. At the time it occurs, you could use something like Process Explorer to identify what has the file handle open.

Make sure your antivirus is...

Thanks Jon,

Dont think this...

Check the database name from which the backup is taken initially. You can edit the physical name but logical name only when you create a new DB.

Experts please correct if...

Thanks a lot Hugo. Really appreciate it.

Makes things clear for me.

Thanks Jacob,

Is there anyway we can filter with hostname as well?

Thanks Perry & Jon,

Why cant use same idea suggested by perry in the opposite way? Instead of blocking SSMS will only allow appname=.net
