SYMPTOMS
========

When you rename multiple-clustered resource share names using the Cluster.exe
tool from the command console, the following error message may be displayed:

  System error 87 has occurred.
  The parameter is incorrect.

Also, the Cluster Administrator may stop responding while it attempts to
enumerate the clustered resources.

CAUSE
=====

This behavior can occur if the rename commands occur too rapidly; for example,
if they are executed in a script.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this behavior, use one of the following methods:

- Rewrite the script to include an adequate pause between each rename command.

- Rewrite the script to create new file share resources instead of renaming
  existing resource share names; then use another script to remove the unwanted
  share resources.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are
listed at the beginning of this article.
