Hello,

I have two cluster (MS Failover Cluster) nodes joined to Domain (A.com).
My domain (A.com) will be deleted and a new domain (B.com) will be installed.
If so, how do I move the two cluster (MSFC) nodes to a new domain (B.com)?

I've been thinking of something like below. Can you please confirm that I'm right?

  1. Destroy Role and Resource
  2. computers re-join to member of new domain
  3. Create Role and Resource
  4. Failover test

thank you

    Hi

    It’s good approach.
    If you want change domain of nodes, you should before destroy clusters, join nodes to new domain then build clusters in new domain.
