PowerShell for Failover Clustering: Find Clusters in a Domain

re: PowerShell for Failover Clustering: Find Clusters in a Domain

Hi,

I have been trying to use the PS cmdlets and everything is working fine when I run them on a domain R2 machine, however, if I try to create a remote PS session from another computer, I always get the "You do not have administrative privileges on the cluster. Contact your network administrator to request access.

Access is denied" error.

My session script looks something like:

$securePassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force -String $password

$Credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential $Username, $SecurePassword

$s = new-PSSession -ComputerName $hostname -credential $credential

enter-PSSession -Session $s

import-module FailoverClusters

User/credentials are the domain user the cluster was created with.

I'd really appreciate some insight. Thanks.

Hi Mike,

Yes, you need to import the clustering powershell module. PS > Import-Module FailoverClusters

No, you cannot run it directly on your Win7 box as it does not have the clustering bits. However it is remotable from other server boxes which support the clustering SKU.

Click on the 'PowerShell' tag on this blog for our posts which include more information about using PowerShell with clustering. The main Cluster PowerShell site is technet.microsoft.com/.../ee461009.aspx.

Thanks,

Do you have to have the clustering role to get the cmdlet? Could you run this on your windows 7 box?

Where could I find the cmdlet?

Hi Rob,

This should work at the 2003 AD functional level, although I do not have the environment to try it out myself. However keep in mind that in 2003 clustering, Kerberos is disabled by default, and the cluster will only create computer objects for Kerberos-enabled Network Names. However in 2008+, Kerberos is on my default, so it will see all clusters in the domain, so this will work for all 2008 clusters.

Thanks,

Symon

Symon,

Do these cmdlets require your AD be at 2008 functional level, or can it work with domains that are still in a 2003 functional level? Will this also discover Windows 2003 clusters?

Thanks for clarifying.

Rob
