Instead of statically defining all of the required parameters, you can use PowerShell as shown here to set
all of the parameters as variables, and then run the cluster install script:
$Cluster_Name=???MB002MSCS???
$Cluster_IP=???2.4.191.91???
$User (reused from user configuration)
$Password (reused from user configuration)
$Node1_Hostname=???MB002A???
$Logfile=???c:\mscs_install.txt???
cluster /cluster:$Cluster_Name /create /IPAddr:$Cluster_IP,$Cluster_Subnet
/USER:$User /pass:$Password
/node:$Node1_Hostname /verbose > $Logfile
Performing scripted installs like this guarantees that any cluster deployed in this manner produces a
repeatable, consistent set of results. This type of deployment is particularly advantageous for hosted

Exchange providers or large Exchange organizations. The preceding script performs a verbose logging of
the cluster install, which can be reviewed to assist in troubleshooting a failed cluster install or to provide
a summary of a successful install.
