Last few days I was installing failover cluster in MsSql 2005 and whille installing it I got this error and installation wouldn’t continue.
In error logs there is message:
Running: ScheduleActionAction at: 7d8/8/19 b:c:2a
Complete: ScheduleActionAction at: 7d8/8/19 b:c:2b, returned true
Skipped: InstallASAction.11

Fix for this error is simple. Log out any users on another node in cluster and that’s it. So simple.

Tnx for comment, it seems that I like to find out thing hard way
Yes – a simple solution – if only were the solution….
I am consistently receiving this error even though I am the only person logged onto the machine and have checked & stop/started the Task Scheduler services on all nodes.
This is not made easier by having an existing 2n cluster (A/P) to which a third node (A) is being added to run a second instance (because the business wants to piggyback an application on an existing cluster rather than set up its own).
Hmm, this worked for me, but also I have a two node cluster.
