Has anyone dealt with a scenario where when joining a second storefront server the join says successful, propagation fails, and numerous services/features on the second node fail to get setup? E.g. on the second node the credential wallet service is missing and the features folder only has 8 items compared to the primary (or a working instance) that has 38 items? I've gone through a number of checks from the articles re: troubleshooting propagation, but it seems like the fundamental deployment of the necessary services is not addressed in those articles. This is CVAD/SF 2402CU3.

I have seen that, I believe there was some type of local group permissions that had to be adjusted. There was a citrix article that I followed that fixed it from the errors in the event log.

Thanks @Jeff Riechers I'll see if I can track that down.

It's NT SERVICE\CitrixConfigurationReplication and NT SERVICE\CitrixClusterService have to be part of local administrators group

Thanks John, those end up being present on both servers, but the deployment on the secondary node still ends up incomplete. I'm going to test on a black primary (with maybe a clean test site configured) to see if it's something about the imported site data that is causing problems.

are both storefront on the same datacenter? We had this issue due to unstability of network line between two datacenters.
