W2008 x64 cluster, unable to query service state

Hello all
I'm using GfI Network Server Monitor to monitor our network. No problem with
our W2003 servers and clusters, but problem on a Windows 2008 x64 cluster.
I'm trying to query a service state from a W2008 x64 node which is part of a
cluster. When I query with the node name of the server, it's ok, but when I
use the virtual server name I get an error "Unable to query service state".
I do not have this problem with Windows Server 2003 32bits.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

This is probably changed in Windows 2008, where we now have "scoping" of the
network name

so if you are checking if the cluster service is running on the Node name,
it will sucseed... well that is logic, as it does actually run on the Node
name. If you check it by the name configured for your application, then it
will fail as it is not "scoped" to that

What do you mean by that ?

That's right and logic.

Is there a way to set the scope "ON" ?
