Cannot Add MOSS Server to a Farm

Problem

Could not add a MOSS server to a farm.  Saw this Failed to connect to the configuration database and Access Denied when I ran the configuration wizard:

psconfigui

 

A quick look in the Event log and I see the same thing:

Solution

The Access Denied message is a bit of a red herring.  It's not permissions that are the problem.  I checked the hot fixes applied to the problem server.  They didn't match the others.  I patched to the same level, re-ran the config wizard and hey presto.
