While checking the Surface Area settings in our SQL Server 2005 cluster environment, I received this error:
You cannot configure surface area of clusted services by connecting to a computer name. connect to the virtual server to configure clustered services
The reason was I had logged in remotely using the cluster name and tried to open the SQL Surface Area Configuration window; therefore it was assuming local settings. This is how I fixed the issue:
In SQL Surface Area Configuration Windows, click Change Computer and select the cluster instance under the option Remote Computer
