Problems with file server role in windows failover cluster
I have a windows failover cluster that consist of 3 virtual servers under os windows server 2019 with 2 file server roles on it, so currently I have one server role on each server and one server in reserve. This file server roles have shared disks on each and connection with azure file share through azure file sync version 20.0. Recently I face a problem that for some reason during the work file server role seems to be stuck and partially unresponsive the only solution is to reboot the node that this file server role is currently on. The only prediction of this problem I've been able to find is Event ID:5783 that relates to NETLOGON The session setup to the Windows Domain Controller for the domain is not responsive. Maybe somebody also faced similar problem or may have some ideas what it might be, or how to fix that, I'll be glad to hear about.Announcing Windows Server vNext Preview Build 26461

Active Directory documentation and best practices
Dear all, please, I have to fix a critical situation. I have recovered a DC VM on an old Hyper-V host. This DC is corrupted and seems that it is not working as well. I installed 2 new phisical host (cluster) with Windows Server Datacenter 2025, configured Hyper-V role, networks etc.. Also prepared (out of cluster) 2 new VM Win 2025 and I would like to prepare as new DC01 + DC02. I guess is better to configure the DC on the hosts to grant that the DC role is always available also if the cluster is not running (feel free to correct if I'm wrong, I will appreciate). I need link to video or documents to correctly perform the configuration of the new DC. The old DC are running a Windows Server 2012 R2 standard version. Is it possible to migrate to Windows 2025 datacenter ? Take note that at the end I have to assign to the new DC, the same IP address. thank you very much for your support. BR Alex.Announcing Windows Server vNext Preview Build 26454

HyperV 12 on Windows 2025 ready for production?
Fighting with three HyperV servers in a failover cluster. I understand that now you have to use SET teaming and lbfo is no longer supported. I also understand that SET is still quite buggy. I have created three teams with two adapters in each of them, but it confuses me how they appear in "Network and internet > Ethernet" vs "Advanced Network setting. I have set the vEthernets to the static IPs that I need. But the way the NIC shows up seems random... Some of them shows the IP of the vEthenets and they are all set to DHCP Network seems very unstable if I use more than one NIC in a team. As far as I can google, I am not the only one having these issues. SET networking does not work stable if more than 1 NIC - correct? So if one needs an HA setup - how to handle NIC teaming correct? Can HyperV 12 on Windows 2025 be used in a prof. live setup? thx...
Workgroup Failover Cluster backup service account
Hello, We have built a workgroup Hyper-V cluster. Live migration works well when taking a node. But the only account that we can use is the one used at the cluster creation. I found some post about account creating the same user / password on both node and grant cluster full access. But this account gets access denied in the cluster manager. But I would like to have specific account for backup and also a nominative account for administration. I just read Orin Thomas post , but it did not help. Have someone ever be able to use a different local local account to manager a workgroup cluster ? Or to achieve this need, I must stick to AD registered servers. Thanks for any help. Jean Marie
