I expect to be the only one here to have attempted to do this, but just in case, here it goes : I want to configure a Windows Server 2012 R2 cluster between three servers. Two of those are Windows Server 2012 R2 DataCenter and since they have a GUI, I've had no problem configuring them. The third one is an Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 and everything has to be done in a CLI. In order to setup a Server 2012 R2 cluster, you have to configure two networks : public and private (the heartbeat). Configuring the public network was a breeze on all three. Just team the concerned NICs and voilà, it is done. Configuring the Heartbeat NIC in command line proved to be much more of a challenge though. For the Heartbeat, the NIC needs not to register its address in the DNS and I also have to disable LMHost lookup. I haven't found out how to do that with netsh. Disabling Netbios over TCP/IP, that, I've been able to do (did it with WMIC). I've tried :
but I receive a "One or more essential parameters were not entered." error message. I haven't started looking how to disable LMHost lookup. Any Windows CLI guru knows how to do this? I can't setup my cluster before the Heartbeat NIC is configured properly.
Code:
netsh interface set dnsservers name="Ethernet 4" register=none
