Netdiag Resource Kit Tool Is Not Cluster Aware

• Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Netdiag tool, DNS errors may be reported on cluster servers that have resource groups online that contain Internet Protocol (IP) objects.

CAUSE

Netdiag does not detect that the TCP/IP address of a virtual server is not registered under the computer name.

MORE INFORMATION

For example, the host name of the cluster server is SERVER1 and the IP address is 131.1.1.11. There are also two resource groups with IP addresses of 131.1.1.15 and 131.1.1.17 online to this server. The following error message is displayed in the Netdiag tool output:
