Step 2: Configure each cluster node to be trusted for delegation
Configure the computer account for each cluster node to be trusted for delegation. To do this, follow these steps:
- Start "Active Directory Users and Computers." To do this, click Start, click Run, type dsa.msc, and then click OK.
- Locate and then click the container in which the cluster nodes are located. By default, the cluster nodes are in the Computers container.
- In the details pane, right-click a cluster node that hosts the clustered share resource, and then click Properties.
- Click to select the Trust computer for delegation check box, click OK on the message that states that this option lets the computer be trusted for delegation, and then click OK.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each cluster node that may host the clustered share resource.
- Restart each cluster node that is trusted for delegation.
Step 3: Configure the Network Name resource to support Kerberos
Kerberos support must be enabled on the Network Name resource. To configure this option, follow these steps.
Note After you follow these steps, a computer object that represents the cluster name that is configured for the Network Name resource appears in the Active Directory directory service. You must trust this computer object for delegation.
- Start the Cluster Administrator tool, and then connect to the server cluster.
- Locate the appropriate Network Name resource, right-click the resource, and then click Take Offline.
Note The Network Name resource must be offline to enable Kerberos support. - Right-click the Network Name resource, and then click Properties.
- In the ResourceName Properties dialog box, click the Parameters tab.
- Note the name that appears next to Name. This name is the name of the computer object that appears in the Computers container in Active Directory Users and Computers.
- Click to select the Enable Kerberos Authentication check box, and then click OK.
- Right-click the Network Name resource, and then click Bring Online.
Step 4: Configure the cluster to be trusted for delegation

- Locate and then click the Computers container.
- In the details pane, right-click the cluster name, and then click Properties.
- Click to select the Trust computer for delegation check box, click OK on the message that states that this option lets the computer be trusted for delegation, and then click OK.
