Symptoms

When you scan a Microsoft Network Load Balancing Cluster running on Windows 2003 you receive the error


"No clusters were found, for Windows 2003 server you must ensure that remote control is enabled for the cluster."


Cause

For Windows 2003 only (later versions do not require this change) the remote control settings must be enabled for the cluster to enable information about the cluster to be presented to WMI.
