Hi all, I was finaly able to install sql 2005 x64 on a a/p cluster config. Because of the problems with maintenance plans/jobs on x64 cluster I had to install SSIS as well, and for making SSIS running without troubles I needed to add hotfix 918222 on both nodes too :-( Now all runs fin exept starting the management console on nodes takes 30 sec's to even display logon dialog!! (machine is quad core 2 Ghz opteron with 4GB RAM and has no workload) What could cause this startup waiting??? (Looks to me like a timout waiting for somthing but what?) TIA Dan
