Cluster won't failover - error 5042

[umbletech]

Win2003 sp1 ent cluster exchange 2003 sp2 AAP cluster

Just installed a number of patches on my passive node - node 3 was on node1. Then tried to failover evs1 to it. Got:

an error occurred while trying to move group evs1-the node was not found error id 5042.

Re-started the cluster service on node 3. Moved evs2 over to it with no problem. Then moved evs1 over to node 2 to see if it was a problem with the group. That worked. Then tried to move evs2 back to node 1. Got the same error.

I searched the hotfix list

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923830

for 5042 - nothing.

I can't see anything relevant in the system or application logs. Is clusdiag worth a shot? Help very much appreciated - a cluster that won't failover isn't too comforting.

glusdiag probably couldn't hurt.
