When attempting to add the storage using PowerShell with syntax:
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
Set-ClusterQuorum -Cluster <clustername> -CloudWitness -AccountName "<accountname>" -AccessKey "<AccessKey>"
I'm met with the error:
Set-ClusterQuorum : "Unable to save property changes for 'Cloud Witness'. Access is denied"
When attempting to use the "Configure Cluster Quorum Wizard" in "Failover Cluster Manager" I'm met with the error:
"An error occurred while attempting to delete the resource 'Cloud Witness'. An error occurred while retrieving state information for the resource 'Cloud Witness'. The cluster resource is not available."
The cluster computer account has full control of computer objects in the OU where all computer objects related to the cluster exist. The account name and key are known to be correct. Five other SQL clusters are currently using this storage account. It is running Microsoft SQL Server 2016 SP3 CU1 13.0.7029.3
