Cluster Validation Create Cluster access is denied

My Configuration is a Fresh new Windows 2008 R2 machine Ready to create a 4 node cluster. When I run the Cluster validation Process it was all OK just create my cluster name With a IP and no storage. I did this in Powershell and it failed Why ? access Denied on creating the cluster .

What is wrong ?

Step One : Cluster Validation Reports all fine no major errors here.

Cluster Validation Create Cluster access is denied

Could it be a GPO that meshup my install ? <> NO

Firewall / other local settings <> NO

In powershell “admin mode” I did create a cluster / error creating cluster access denied.

Cluster Validation Create Cluster access is denied

Event logging : there are special eventlogs for clustering So I checked them.

Cluster Validation Create Cluster access is denied

So It looks OK no errors <> Dive Deeper.

Cluster Validation Create Cluster access is denied

The Cluster service successfully formed the failover cluster ‘ClusterName’.

So I can create the Cluster but after that I rolls back Whay ?

Cluster Validation Create Cluster access is denied

The cluster service has been stopped and set as disabled as part of cluster node cleanup.

Cluster Validation Create Cluster access is denied

So Access is denied Event ID 4657 I could use http://www.bing.com but there must be a hint to solve this.

There is also a Event ID 6 kerberos issues ? MaxTokenSize OK checked the register on this server. NO MaxTokenSize there.

Do I need this key ? Well I checked the Key for my domain account that I used for creating this cluster and yes It is member of 700 Groups

Who need this kind of Groups this is Windows 2008 R2 beyond the Kerberos ticket eh yeh but your Domain controller is still a windows 2003 x32 Box. 

So I put in the MaxTokenSize key rebooted and created the cluster. Case solved.

Cluster Validation Create Cluster access is denied

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Kerberos\Parameters]

"MaxTokenSize"=dword:000186a0

Cluster Shared Volumes change metric configuration with powershell only !

How do I change the metric off my cluster shared volumes network ?

Well If you don’t want to use the autometric then you need to change it but where can I change it.

About CSV :

When you enable Cluster Shared Volumes, the failover cluster automatically chooses the network that appears to be the best for CSV communication. However, you can designate the network by using the cluster network property, Metric. The lowest Metric value designates the network for CSV and internal cluster communication. The second lowest value designates the network for live migration, if live migration is used (you can also designate the network for live migration by using the failover cluster snap-in).

When the cluster sets the Metric value automatically, it uses increments of 100. For networks that do not have a default gateway setting (private networks), it sets the value to 1000 or greater. For networks that have a default gateway setting, it sets the value to 10000 or greater. Therefore, for your preferred CSV network, choose a value lower than 1000, and give it the lowest metric value of all your networks.

 

Another property, called AutoMetric, uses true and false values to track whether Metric is being controlled automatically by the cluster or has been manually defined.

 

To set the Metric value for a network, use the Windows PowerShell cmdlet Get-ClusterNetwork as described in the following procedure. For more information about the cmdlet, see Get-ClusterNetwork (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=143787).

To designate a network for Cluster Shared Volumes

  1. On a node in the cluster, click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Windows PowerShell Modules. (If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Yes.)
  2. To identify the networks used by a failover cluster and the properties of each network, type the following:

    Get-ClusterNetwork | ft Name, Metric, AutoMetric, Role

    A table of cluster networks and their properties appears (ft is the alias for the Format-Table cmdlet). For the Role property, 1 represents a private cluster network and 3 represents a mixed cluster network (public plus private).

  3. To change the Metric setting to 900 for the network named Cluster Network 1, type the following:

    ( Get-ClusterNetwork "Cluster Network 1" ).Metric = 900

    noteNote

    The AutoMetric setting changes from True to False after you manually change the Metric setting. This tells you that the cluster is not automatically assigning a Metric setting. If you want the cluster to start automatically assigning the Metric setting again for the network named Cluster Network 1, type the following:

    ( Get-ClusterNetwork "Cluster Network 1" ).AutoMetric = $true

  4. To review the network properties, repeat step 2.
