windows server 2012 cluster issue


If you happened to install windows failover cluster 2012 and you get the following error in the event viewer:

EVENT ID 1228
Cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' encountered an error enabling the network name on this node. The reason for the failure was: 
 'Unable to obtain a logon token'.
 The error code was '1326'. 
 You may take the network name resource offline and online again to retry.

EVENT ID 1196
Cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' failed registration of one or more associated DNS name(s) for the following reason:
The handle is invalid.
Ensure that the network adapters associated with dependent IP address resources are configured with at least one accessible DNS server


This error probably because DNS issue, cluster service cannot register the name to DNS. The work around to solve this:

1- Restart the server that hold the cluster right now.
2- Open Failover Cluster Manager.
3- Navigate to Cluster Core Resource.
4- Right click on the cluster network name and take it offline.
5- Right click on the cluster name and navigate to more actions, choose repair
6- Right click on the cluster network name and check DNS: OK

  1. Thank you. You post really help me resolve the DAG on Exchange 2013. I actually reconfigured the witness server to point to new witness server. After many attempts of failure I found your article and followed the steps as you mentioned and it resolved the issue.
