Hi, I just found this article and its quite the problem I'm facing right now: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/one-cooperation-issue-about-windows-2012-r2-failover-cluster-and-sf-cluster-shared-disk-group I created a new Windows Server 2012 R2 Failover Cluster with several mirrored Disks in DynamicDiskGroups in StorageFoundation. As a next step, I wanted to add the Diskgroups from SF as a Ressource to my Failover Roles. Actual scenario: Cluster Role Name: C0002Z DiskGroupName in SF: DG_C0002Z_1 Then I added a Ressource to the Cluster Role via Add Resource -> More Resources -> Volume Manager Disk Group I changed the Name of the VMDG in "General" to "DG_C0002Z_1", apply, ok. Then I wanted to add the Name of the DiskGroup in Properties -> Properties -> DiskGroupName of the VMDG to "DG_C0002Z_1". And thats where I dont get any further. It doesn't matter which Name I want to enter into DiskGroupName, theres always this Error: There was an error saving properties for 'DG_C0002Z_1'. Failed to execute control code '20971654'. Error Code: 0x800700a0 One or more arguments are not correct I also tried to enter Names without special characters but that doesnt help eather. Do you have any Idea how to fix or bypass this issue?

Hi all, I'm new to the forums, so please let me know any other information that is normally helpfull. I have recently been on site to a customer to install SFWHA 6.0.1 on a Windows 2008 R2 server. However, after completing the installation and going to configure items within Enterprise Administrator I am continually confronted by the message reporting "insufficient privileges" when trying to run any task. I have confirmed that the account I am signed in with is a member of the local Administrator group, and the UNC is disabled, but the message continues to appear. To get around the issue during installation I have been able to complete the installation from the command prompt, which hasn't even needed to be "run as administrator". The Gui window is showing all of my changes but still won’t allow me to complete any wizards. Has anyone come across this before? The site I am on is using many group policy options and the question has been raised on if there are any pre-requisites on these? Or if these wouldn't have an impact. The only test that I wasn't able to complete was to get logged on with just the local administrator account, or with a full system administrator account. However, even if doing this were to prove the system works, the question would still remain asking what is preventing the original account from working.
