Configuring Clustered Services and Applications (Resource Groups) by Using Windows PowerShell

  • Article

Updated: October 1, 2009

Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2

This topic lists common tasks related to configuring clustered services and applications (resource groups) on a failover cluster running Windows Server 2008 R2, and shows example Windows PowerShell commands for performing those tasks. The Windows PowerShell cmdlets provide an alternative interface for actions that you might otherwise perform with command-line commands or the Failover Cluster Manager snap-in. For topics that list other common tasks and the corresponding Windows PowerShell commands, see Performing Common Tasks in a Failover Cluster by Using Windows PowerShell.

For more information about how to use Windows PowerShell, see Additional references, later in this topic.
