Ideally, from a central admin server, failover cluster module is not installed. The command should perform HADR check on the remote specified computer or sql instance.

Why can you not install the failover cluster module on the central server? It is simply client tools just like the server administrator console or AD tools.

I can install but we have different domains and for some domains, I need the ability to run the tests from my local windows 7 PC. Other domains, I can run the test from central server.

Unfortunately this is going to be a limitation of dbachecks. Running remote failover cluster commands brings unexpected behaviour.

Unless anyone has any ideas I am sorry we will have to close this without fixing
