Access Denied While Creating a new Failover Cluster

Question

_{Monday, September 24, 2012 11:56 PM}

Hello,

I am trying to create a new failover cluster with nodes as 3 Windows Server 2012, all 3 have Failover Clustering installed. But the problem I am facing is when I try to create the Cluster.

New-Cluster -Name MyCluster

New-Cluster : An error occurred while performing the operation.
    An error occurred while creating the cluster 'myCluster'.
    An error occurred creating cluster 'myCluster'.
    Access is denied

Am I missing something?

Regards- Muralidhar

Did you provide the list of node names and the cluster IP address etc? Also, have you run cluster validation and does your account have the rights to create the cluster computer object in AD? (You can also pre-create it, diable the AD computer account and grant yourself full rights on that account)

See syntax for New-Cluster here:

           Try to give full access  for particular Domain controller server In DNS ....

           Active Directory controller also need to give full access   After given full access try to restart dc ......now it will work fine...

Yes I did the validation, it passed, I tried adding nodes as well but every time I I try it fails for the same reason, access denied while creating the cluster.
