cluster admin - rights needed ?

I have read that the cluster admin needs to be a domain admin to setup a
cluster. I am using Win2003 and SQL 2000. Is that true ? If not, what are
the minimum rights required as our n/w admins are hesitant about creating it
as a member of domain admins
Don't be - The answer you got below is correct.

I think he meant that the domain user should be a local administrator on the
nodes.
You can trust me on this one :-) Also check this article on microsoft
website:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro...on124121120120
Under checklist for Server Cluster Configuration-
"A domain-level account that is a member of the local administrators group
on each node. A dedicated account is recommended."
Ya, it is a bit confusing, but it means: "A domain user with admin
previliges on each of the cluster nodes"
