Hi there,
I am having difficulties creating a new server 2012 R2 failover cluster in our domain. We have a working 2008 R2 cluster that has been running fine for years now.
I have tried on different hardward with single nodes and multiple nodes when making the cluster. I can see the new cluster account is created in AD and I have triple checked all permissions required to create the cluster. The resulting errors are:
Adding special permissions to the computer object failed. Trying to add 'Full-Access' permissions for security principal S-1-5-21-2379181152-2103701998-3253613930-1309 to computer object CN=VM-CLUSTER-1,OU=Servers,DC=HHS,DC=local failed. Verify that the user running create cluster has permissions to update the computer object in Active Directory Domain Services. The parameter is incorrect.
An error occurred while creating the cluster and the nodes will be cleaned up. Please wait...
There was an error cleaning up the cluster nodes. Use Clear-ClusterNode to manually clean up the nodes.
An error occurred while creating the cluster.
The parameter is incorrect
Any suggestions on what could be causing this? My only current route of investigation is a currently missing domain controller account in AD as I assume this must be AD related.
