Just a note to othe users Windows 2003 does not support
" _ "(underscores) in virtual server names
you will get problems if you try and remove a node or add nodes or re-run service packs
The error you will receive will be
Virtual Name is Invalid
We found this problem after updrading NT4 to Windows 2003
The SQL setup file checks for what operating system you use
and as "_" are not supported within DNS it will fail
The way round this is by setting the setupsql file in compatibility mode for NT4
This error was in Windows 2000 but fixed in SP3
Microsoft are currently refusing to do a Hotfix for 2003

Hope this is of help to others
