We are trying to Install MSDTC using powershell on a 2 Node Failover Cluster on a WS2012 std environment.
Everything goes right except the grouptype of the MSDTC resource appears unknown (9999). Instead of dtc grouptype(103). Please find the script block
Add-ClusterServerRole -Name $msdtcnetname -Storage "$dtcdisk" -StaticAddress $ipaddress
Get-ClusterGroup $msdtcnetname | Add-ClusterResource -Name $msdtcname -ResourceType "Distributed Transaction Coordinator”
Add-ClusterResourceDependency $msdtcname $msdtcnetname
Add-ClusterResourceDependency $msdtcname $dtcdisk
Start-ClusterGroup $msdtcnetname
$grp=(gwmi -Namespace root/MSCluster -Class MSCluster_ResourceGroup | ?{ $_.Name -eq "$msdtcnetname" } )
$grp.setGroupType(103)$grp.setgrouptype(103) - Returns a Generic Failure Error
$grp.grouptype=103
This sets the grouptype locally and does not impact on the MSDTC grouptype .
Thanks in Advance for your help
