I'm trying to setup our MBAM server so we can finally deploy bitlocker with some management. We have an SQL 2008 R2 cluster server that I'd like to make the database server for Recovery, Compliance and Audits databases. I've tried to run the setup on one of the nodes for SQL, I'm logged in as an Administrator of the SQL server and i keep getting this error. User lacks sufficient permissions on this instance of SQL Server Resolution: The user who is attempting to install the Key Recovery Database feature lacks the necessary permissions (that is, connection permissions) to access any of the server's instances of SQL Server. More information on SQL Server is available at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=217251 We aren't using any instances other than the default SQL instance. Is it supported to run the MBAM database components on a clustered SQL server and is there something special i need to do to get past the prerequisites?

You cannot install MBAM directly on a SQL cluster. If you want to move DB to a SQL cluster, then you install MBAM on non-cluster and move DB to a SQL cluster. http://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/it-it/mdop/hh285651.aspx Hope this helps. Manoj (MSFT)Manoj Sehgal
