SQL Server 2008 Cluster on Windows 2008 R2
During installation of a SQL Server 2008 cluster on Windows 2008 R2, I ran into an installation problem. The process would go through the installation until the very end and then throw an error such as this.
The following error has occurred: There was an error setting private property ‘RequireKerberos’ to value ‘1’ for resource ‘SQL Network Name (33SQLCluster)’. Error: Value does not fall within the expected range.

It appears that the only way in which to overcome this is to slipsteam a Sp1 SQL Server 2008 installation. Luckily, the following blog post provides an excellent set of detailed instructions on how to accomplish this.
** Important Note: don’t waste your time with the microsoft documentation on how to do this. It leaves out some little tidbits that will make the process choke.
Hopefully, this helps someone else in a similar bind out.
Cheers!
