Greetings,
Installing SQL Server 2012 Standard /or/ SQL Server 2008 R2 on Windows 8.1
This is driving me crazy, i had SQL server 2008 R2 installed before formatting my laptop, once i done a recovery and all files was removed and everything and upgraded into Windows 8.1, i keep getting same errors whether i installed SQL Server 2008 R2 or SQL SERVER 2012 Standard
First error is : Rule "Cluster Node Failed"
The local computer is not a member of Windows failover cluster.
Here's the errors "failed" log
