Cause

========

PSSDiagForBizTalk
tool tries to retrieve the SQL server cluster resource from the BizTalk cluster
and it fails with the above error.

Solution

========

Open pssdiag.ini,
change the section [.] to [BizTalk_Machine_NetBios_Name]. For example, one node
of the BizTalk cluster netbios name is birdgun, the section could be changed to
[birdgun] when run the tool on this node. This makes the tool skips the steps
to enumerate the cluster resources and continue to run.
