Can't connect to Failovercluster

Question

I have a Cluster that i've updated to Server 2022 21H2, unfortunately the hardware i was using as a management server refuses to work with server 2022 and its stuck on server Server 2019 1809.

Ever since then i can't connect to the cluster from the management server anymore, the log says its a permission error, witch is nonsense as im using a domain admin, and it works just fine if i RDP directly to the nodes

Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out.

To ensure that the required ports are open for communication between the two servers in the cluster, check the firewall settings on both servers.

Examine the rights the user account you are using to access the Failover Cluster Manager MMC has to access the cluster. To check if that fixes the problem, you can try adding the user account to the local Administrators group on both servers.

Verify that the Windows Remote Management (WinRM) service is operational and set up properly on both servers. To configure WinRM, use the PowerShell command "winrm quickconfig".

Check that the same DNS server is being used by both servers and that they are both members of the same domain.

To ensure that the Cluster service is operating and setup properly, check the parameters on both servers. To verify the status of the Cluster service, use the PowerShell command "Get-Service -Name ClusSvc".
