The cluster resource 'SQL Server (SQL2014)' could not be brought online due to an error bringing the dependency resource 'SQL Network Name (SQL2014)'


Users will face this common issue during SQL Server Failover Cluster installation. Note that SQL Server Engine service is always dependent on Network Name resource. The network resource failure can result the SQL Server resource not coming online.

User may see below messages in system log

Cluster network name resource 'SQL Network Name (SQL2014)' failed to create its associated computer object in domain sqlserver-expert.com' during: Resource online.

The text for the associated error code is: Access is denied.

Please work with your domain administrator to ensure that:
- The cluster identity 'SQL2014$' has Create Computer Objects permissions. By default all computer
objects are created in the same container as the cluster identity 'SQL2014$'.
- The quota for computer objects has not been reached.
- If there is an existing computer object, verify the Cluster Identity 'SQL2014$' has 'Full Control' permission to that computer object using the Active Directory Users and Computers tool.

The main cause for this error is insufficient permission to create computer objects. You have two options to resolve this error.

1. Ask your Windows Admin to grant permission “Read all properties” and “Create Computer Objects to the CNO via the container.

Or

2. Ask your Windows Admin to create required computer objects.

There are no SQL Server instances or shared features that can be updated on this computer


Recently I have installed a new instance (SQL Server 2008 ) on a 2 node SQL Server cluster. When I am trying to apply Cumulative update 7 for SP2, the check box is grayed out and not able to select the check box for newly created instance and received following error

There are no SQL Server instances or shared features that can be updated on this computer.

I didn’t not receive any error during the instance creation, didn’t see any error messages in the event viewer. It looks the issue is with version, need to find the version information.

When I click on the instance to find the version information, I see a version miss match message in the description.

The version of SQL Server instance TEST does not match the version expected by the SQL Server upgrade. The installed SQL Server product version is 10.1.2531.0, and the expected SQL Server version is 10.2.4000.0


 It is very clear that before installing the Cumulative update 7 for SP2, we need to bring the version up to 10.2.4000.0.

I have installed SP2 first and I was able to apply Cumulative update 7 for SP2 successfully.
