Yesterday I took the passive node in my Operations Manager RMS cluster down to remove a modem board and replace it with a new one. Ever since it came back up, I'm unable to fail over the Cluster Group (specifically the MSDTC resource) to the passive node. Whenever I try, I get these two errors.

Cluster resource 'MSDTC' in Resource Group 'Cluster Group' failed.

Description:
Cluster service failed to restore a registry key for resource MSDTC when it
was brought online. This error code was 3. Some changes may be lost.
A technet article advised me to use the ClusterRecover.exe utilty to recover the resource. I tried recovering just MSDTC. No joy, so I tried recovering all resources. Same result. A reboot of the passive node didn't help either.
One post I read said the user deleted the resource and recreated it, but I'd rather not go there unless I have to.
The active node is running just fine, but I need to be able to fail over to the passive node for maintenance. My local cluster expert has never run into this.
I'd appreciate any light that can be shed on this.
