Virtual server host clustering script problem

- I'm trying to initialize a host clustering environment. I have followed the
instructions but when I want to put the script (havm.vbs) online it says the
following error:
The Cluster Resource could not be brought online by the resource monitor.
Error ID: 5018 (0000139a).

I have added the resource specific command line as well.
(cluster res "Guest1Script" /priv VirtualMachineName=Guest1)

On the cluter log there are a following lines about the error:

00001014.00001084::2007/09/17-09:45:39.556 INFO Generic Script
<Virt_Script>: Loaded script engine 'VBScript' successfully.

The host clustering worked before I insallad the Virtual Server 2005 SP1.
I have tried to add the complete resource group from the beginning but It
doesn' t help. The Virtual Server working itself.

Any idea?
Thanks in advance

the error is in the "Online()" function within your script.
For some reason it returns the value 424 (instead of 0 for sucses)

see:
00001014.00001084::2007/09/17-09:45:39.588 ERR Generic Script
<Virt_Script>: 'Online' script entry point returned '424'.

This means that the resource monitor can not bring your script online, wich
will produce the 5018

so, I would start debugging your script !

Thanks for the answer,
This script is provided by the Microsoft and I didn't take any modification
in it at all. This script was worked before at its current state.

Still if it is producing a returncode of 424 you still want to find out
why....
Rgds,
Edwin.

O.K. I would like to debug it, but how?
I don't think This script is runnable outside the clustered environment.

but you can look at the code and see under what condition it sets a 424
return-code
alternatively, as this is a Microsoft script, invoke you support contract to
get experienced help
