Cluster network name resource SQL Network Name{} failed to create its associated computer object in domain{}

I got an error while installing SQL Server 2008 R2 Clustering which the error is :
"Cluster network name resource SQL Network Name{} failed to create its associated computer object in domain{} for the follwoing reason:Unable to update password for computer account. The text for teh associated error code is :Access is denied."



so if you see the error in the first image you will see also the suggestion solution to sovle this error and this problem so you have to do the following before install SQL Server Clustering :
  1. Go to Active Directory Users and Computers
  2. Right Click on SQL Cluster Name (Computer Object name)
  3. Go to Properties
  4. Go to Security Tab
  5. Add Windows Cluster Name (Computer Object name) with Full Control
  6. Apply and OK.
then remove the current installation and reinstall SQL Server 2008 R2 from begining.
