In Windows 2016 Failover Clustering, we added Compute and VM Resiliency. It was for those cases where a node or storage may have a transient error and have no connectivity for a very quick brief period of time. Prior to Windows 2016, if the node went down, all would move over (powered off and on). This would cause issues if it was only down for say 30 seconds. Once the node was back and joined, the VM would start again. The VM would either continue running during this time if the physical disk was still accessible or would go into a paused-critical state until the drive came back up as long as it did within the time period allowed. The setting for this is ResiliencyPeriod and the default period is 240 seconds (4 minutes). So it would be 4 minutes before the VM would be moved to another node. To see what this is set for would be the commands: Cluster property: (Get-Cluster).ResiliencyDefaultPeriod Group common property for granular control: (Get-ClusterGroup “My VM”).ResiliencyPeriod Re: Installing Windows server 2019 in a Server 2012 Domain srsysadmin No disrespect taken. It was fat thumb. Meant to hit 'c' and guess more of thumb on space bar than the letter Re: Installing Windows server 2019 in a Server 2012 DomainAdding in Windows 2019 member servers do not require that you upgrade the functional level of the domain. However, there might be a role or two that will require a 2019 domain controller be present. Also, you can not directly upgrade 2012 to 2019. Below is the Windows Upgrade Center link that gives you all the details and tips.

Or, did you create one and copy it to all the others? Or some combination? 2. Are these fixed or dynamically expanding VHDX disks? 3. Are you using Windows Server 2016 or 2019? In Windows Server 2019, there is an additional .MHT file for enabling S2D that may give you some hints as to the issue. 4. Did all the S2D tests in Validation pass? Re: Upgrade from Windows server 2016 to Windows Server 2019 We have been working hard improving the in-place upgrade experience in Windows Server 2019. Yes, you are able to do an in-place upgrade of either Windows 2012 R2 or 2016 to Windows Server 2019. Re: Upgrading from Windows Server 2016 to 2019We will be supporting upgrading from Windows Server 2016 to Windows Server 2019.Re: Adding Windows Server 2019 Preview Build 17623 as Remote Desktop Session HostPlease stay tuned for more information regarding RDS. No, it is not going away. I want to be very clear on this. Remote Desktop Services (RDS) has been an essential technology for our customers dating all the way back to Windows NT when it was known as Terminal Services. Today, Remote Desktop is still one of the most popular technologies, has a thriving partner ecosystem and we know that our customers love Remote Desktop Services. However, it is not included in the preview.Re: Is Project Honolulu already included in 17623 or separate install?Honolulu is a separate out of band download. This is a good thing as that as newer features are added to it, you do not have to wait for the next preview build to become available.Re: Clustering and S2D Capabilities In RS3, Nano is now a container OS only. All infrastructure roles will be removed and no longer for physical or virtual machines. https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/hybridcloud/2017/06/15/delivering-continuous-innovation-with-windows-server/
