Creating a Failover Cluster Automation Server Script

  • Article

[The Failover Cluster Automation Server is available for use in Windows Server 2008. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions.]

The following example illustrates a basic Windows Script Host shell in which a script can be inserted. For more information on Windows Script Host, see the Scripting reference in the Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?>
<!--==================================================================
;  Wshell.wsf
; 
;  Generic Windows Script Host shell in which to insert
;  VBScript and JScript code.
;  
;  To use this file,
;  1. Save it under a new name (File - Save As - filename)
;     using the "wsf" extension.
;  2. Rename the package and job ID's as needed.
;  3. For each job:
;     a.  Load type library information as needed.
;     b.  Include or insert script code as needed.
;  4. Run the script by calling Windows Script Host from
;     the command prompt according to the following syntax:
;        wscript <filename> [/<options>] [<arguments>]
;        cscript <filename> [/<options>] [<arguments>]
;   
;  For more information, see the Scripting reference in the
;  Platform Software Development Kit (SDK).

  ; The following line references the MSCLUS type library, which 
  ; makes the library-defined constants and enums available to your 
  ; scripts. The reference is job-specific. Each job must include

  ; To "include" external script files, use the following syntax:
  ;   <script language="VBScript" src="c:\path\filename.vbs"/>
  ;   <script language="JScript" src="c:\path\filename.js"/>
  ; Otherwise you can embed your script as shown below.
  ; The CDATA wrapper is necessary for the file to be valid XML.
