I actually went through this virtual lab this morning. Will show you how to set up clustering, preferred/possible owners, failback, etc.... At the end of the lab, just stop the cluster services on both nodes, change the drive letter for the quorum and wipe the data on it, do a /fixquorum, and go through the motions.

Thanks for the post Royal. I'm now going through this virtual lab, it's a great utility and is really helping for things to sink in without destroying my works Server. I had no idea these labs existed, top stuff

Cool that was fun.

On a side note. Make 100% sure your cluster service is stopped on all nodes before you frag your Quorum drive lol

Bad things will happen if you dont.
