Hi, I am trying to create a cluster between 2 nodes in Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard. Validation report is successful and but when creating the cluster. The process hangs during the forming of cluster, expiring on timeout (2 minutes).
The user used to create the cluster has Domain Admin rights and belongs to the Local Administrators group. Firewall ports are configured to allow the relevant ports and the validation report has reported that the firewall is OK. I've tried to search the AD and found that there were indeed computer objects of the cluster name created and deleted, due to the clean up, so am assuming that rights are fine as well.
I have turned on diagnostics logs and tried to rerun the process. Below are the errors found in the logs for that process:

Would appreciate if anyone can help me out in this.
Thank you!
