Windows 10: A Cluster of Computers

Hey there! I am trying to setup a local server(i think) or maybe domain with active directory?

So here is my goal and i have no idea where to start and was wondering if anyone could help.

1. MAIN SERVER
   • 1 admin account
   • a couple user accounts (read write privileges)
   • 1 file read only account (read only privileges)

Now the part that keeps going over my head for some reason. I want to make the user accounts and the read only account to have their own space on the server for storage like their own personal files but at the same time i want to add another drive that they can both share. In addition, i also want to make it so any user can login from any pc in the network and access their files.

At the same time along with all this, i also need file history, so that even if a single byte changes, i can restore or view the older version.

Windows 2019 Datacenter Cluster - Configuring Cluster Aware Updating

Hello, everyone.

I am trying to configure Cluster Aware Updating (CAU) on a 2-node, Windows 2019 Datacenter Cluster. Using Failover Cluster Manager, when I run the "Analyze cluster updating readiness" function, I receive a report with two errors and one warning.

The first error is "The failover cluster nodes must be enabled for remote management via WMIv2". They already are. When I run "WINRM QUICKCONFIG -q" on each node, I get no errors; in fact I get "WinRM service is already running on this machine. WinRM is
already set up for remote management on this computer."

The second error is "Windows PowerShell remoting should be enabled on each failover cluster node". It already is. When I run "Enable-PSRemoting" on each node, I get no errors;. in fact I get no messages back at all.

The one warning is "The CAU clustered role should be installed on the failover cluster to enable self-updating mode". I think this will go away once I get CAU set up and running on this cluster.

My command to add CAU to my cluster ends up being:

Add-CauClusterRole -ClusterName ES19TESTCL1 -Force -CauPluginName Microsoft.WindowsUpdatePlugin -MaxRetriesPerNode 3 -CauPluginArguments @{ 'IncludeRecommendedUpdates' = 'True' } -RequireAllNodesOnline -StartDate "8/1/2020 12:00:00 AM" -DaysOfWeek 64 -WeeksOfMonth
@(3) -VirtualComputerObjectName ES19TESTCL1CAU -EnableFirewallRules;

ES19TESTCL1CAU is a computer name I pre-staged in my Active Directory.

The results of running that PowerShell script was: "Validation failed for adding CAU cluster role." I'm guessing once I figure out and fix what's causing the validation errors, the script will work. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. This is my first
cluster.
