There is something wrong with the update process for an HA setup.

 

Per the instructions found on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/manage/windows-admin-center/deploy/high-availability

All you need to do is execute this PS .\Install-WindowsAdminCenterHA.ps1 -msiPath '.\WindowsAdminCenter.msi' -Verbose

 

I have tried to do this on version 1910 to update to 1910.2. Gave up and restored from backup.

 

When trying it on 1910 to 2007 I got the same.

 

errors found.

Cluster resource 'Windows Admin Center' of type 'Generic Service' in clustered role 'wac' failed.

Based on the failure policies for the resource and role, the cluster service may try to bring the resource online on this node or move the group to another node of the cluster and then restart it. Check the resource and group state using Failover Cluster Manager or the Get-ClusterResource Windows PowerShell cmdlet.
