Hi,
We just installed SQL Server on 1st node of windows cluster and it stop/start fine from configuration manager but from command line it is giving error and I checked that service account have all the rights on the folder, any idea how to fix the issue since we need to some tasks and I need to start SQL Server in single user mode from command line (registry entry looks fine):
