re: How to Properly Shutdown a Failover Cluster or a Node

Hello Elden,

I have an Windows 2012R2 failover cluster and the Active Directory was made high available due to the fact that from 2012 the cluster can boot-up without the AD. I tested this in case a hard-reset the physical machines and it works.

But if I manually shutdown the cluster, how can I start-up a cluster back again? Because I can start-up the cluster if I'm not authenticated on a Domain.

Thanks,

Mihai
