Failed to connect to service manager when trying to add node

[guest]

Getting the above error when I'm trying ot add servers to the cluster. I know it is firewall related because when I disable the firewall it works fine. What do I need to allow? Thanks.

check this http://blogs.technet.com/askcore/archiv ... 08-r2.aspx do you pass the validation test?

To ensure correct failover cluster functionality, add exceptions to firewall configuration settings for the File and Printer Sharing (TCP 139/445 and UDP 137/138), and Remote Procedure Call (TCP port 135).

In my case, it is firewall issue. I need to enable WMI to allow inbound and outbound on both servers..
