Is there a utility (and if so where can I get it) to compare 2 MS Windows
2003 cluster nodes. Basically, I want to be able to compare drivers and
driver versions that have been installed on each machine. They are part of
the same SQL Server Cluster and one of them (Node B) is not working as
expected. Most of the resources fail over to Node B except the SQL Server
drives (data files, log file and tempdb), but the Quorum drive does fail
over.

By comparing the installations we may be able to find out what is missing
from Node B. Note that Node B has just been completely reinstalled as a
human error caused it to no longer work. My theory is that during the
reinstall, drivers were missed or old versions were installed.

P.S.: I have seen mentioned the utility "syscompare.exe" in some articles
but have not found any links (from reliable sources).

but be sure you read all notes about this utility especially as it relates
to storage.
