Microsoft Server Cluster Installation
When installing the MSCS cluster services, there are a lot of steps to implementing the cluster. These
steps can be broken down into the following:
1. Create the cluster service account
2. Create the cluster DNS record

3. Configure the network
4. Prepare the shared disks
5. Install the cluster software
Chapter 4 discussed using PowerShell to create users. The service account for the cluster service needs
to be a member of the domain. If the installation of the cluster is done by an administrator that is not the
service account, the service account will be added to the local administrators group on each node during
the installation process. Using this PowerShell script creates a new Organizational Unit (OU) in the
Exchangeexchange domain, creates a new user within that OU, and sets her password to never. The final
portion also sets the user password:
$DC1=???exchangeexchange???
$DC2=???local???
$DC3=$DC1+???.???+$DC2+???:389???
$Service_Account_OU=???SVC_Accounts???
$User=???svc-mb002???
$Password=???P@55w0rd???
$objDomain = [ADSI]???LDAP://$DC3/dc=$DC1,dc=$DC2???
$objOU = $objDomain.
