SharePoint SE - Distributed cache service is not enabled in this deployment.

Hi Everyone :)

This is how I resolved the issue

# Added the WSS_WPG group and granted it Read permissions. I am not sure if this step is strictly required, but I applied it anyway

HKEYLocalMachine/SYSTEM>CurrentControlSet>Control>SecurePipeServers>Winreg

# Remove Server 2 from Farm

# Add Server 2 to Farm with the rol Front-End

# Export cluster-config to an  XML-File

Export-SPCacheClusterConfig -Path "C:\Temp\cacheconfig.xml"

# Remove the server from the config

# Stop the cache service on Server 1, though you can skip this one if you are desperate! :)

Stop-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance -Graceful

# Stop the SharePoint Timer service, the Administration service and Cluster to pause all activity

Stop-Service "SPTimerV4"

Stop-Service "SPAdminV4"

Stop-SPCacheCluster

#Import clean cluster-config

Import-SPCacheClusterConfig -Path "C:\Temp\cacheconfig.xml"

# Start the Windows SharePoint services and cluster again

Start-Service "SPAdminV4"

Start-Service "SPTimerV4"

Start-SPCacheCluster

# Synchronize the local server configuration with the database

psconfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -cmd applicationcontent -install

# Add SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance again to server 2

Add-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance

#Chack of the Distributed Cache is listening

netstat -ano | findstr "22233"

# Run Products Configuaration Wizard

# In CA converted the rol to Front-End with Distributed Cache

Voila :)
