While playing with my lab cluster, I ran into a situation. In this blog, we would learn about a situation where failover was not working from one node to another node. Everything used to work fine on Node1. Let us fix the error related to failover clustered.
SQL SERVER – Unable to Add Node – Could not find subkey System \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ MSSQLFDLauncher. Error code 0x851B0001
After a bit of testing on my lab server, I was able to reproduce the issue! We will not see a feature listed on the Features Page if the respective MSI file is missing from the Setup Media. Full-Text Search using the MSI called sql_fulltext.msi and is present in the setup path MediaRoot\x64\Setup. I was not able to see the sql_fulltext.msi file in the client’s setup media. I was suspecting other files to be missing too so we extracted a fresh copy of the setup media (from new downloaded ISO) and then ran the “New Failover Cluster” setup. This time, we were able to see Full-Text Search option. Let us learn how to fix the error related to unable to add node.

Recently, one of my blog readers sent an email to me asking a quick suggestion. He informed me that he is using a LOGON trigger to control the access to the server. Here is the code for the trigger.
