Event Id1247
SourceMicrosoft-Windows-FailoverClustering
DescriptionThe Cluster service SID type is configured as '%1' while the expected service sid type is Unrestricted. The Cluster service is modifying its sid type configuration with the Service Controller Manager and will be restarted for this change to take effect.
Event Information According to Microsoft :

Cause :

This event is logged when Cluster service SID type is configured as while the expected service sid type is Unrestricted.

Resolution :

Confirm success of security ID configuration change

Sometimes, before the Cluster service can function, it must modify its security ID (SID) type configuration with the Service Controller Manager and then restart for the change to take effect. No action is necessary, but monitor the status of the node to ensure that it comes up as expected.

To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the local Administrators group on each clustered server, and the account you use must be a domain account, or you must have been delegated the equivalent authority.

Viewing the status of the nodes in a failover cluster

To view the status of the nodes in a failover cluster:
  1. To open the failover cluster snap-in, click Start , click Administrative Tools , and then click Failover Cluster Management . If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Continue .
  2. n the Failover Cluster Management snap-in, if the cluster you want to manage is not displayed, in the console tree, right-click Failover Cluster Management , click Manage a Cluster , and then select or specify the cluster that you want.
  3. If the console tree is collapsed, expand the tree under the cluster you want to manage, and then click Nodes .
  4. View the status for each node. If a node is Up , the Cluster service is started on that node.
Another way to view node status is to run a command on a node in the cluster.

Using a command to view the status of the nodes in a failover cluster

To use a command to view the status of the nodes in a failover cluster:
  1. On the node that you are checking, click Start , point to All Programs , click Accessories , right-click Command Prompt , and then click Run as administrator .
  2. Type:
