This behavior will occur if you used the -resetquorumlog parameter.

Event ID: 1024
Description: The registry checkpoint for cluster resource %ResourceName% could not be restored to registry key HKLMsystemcurrentcontrolsetservices%ServiceName%. The resource may not function correctly. Make sure no other processes have open handles to subkeys in the registry subtree.

-or-

Source: ClusSvc
Event ID: 1082

To fix this behavior, reset the server cluster check points by using the Windows Server 2003 ClusterRecovery.exe utility.

NOTE: The ClusterRecovery tool also works in Windows 2000 clusters.
