xClusterQuorum: Test-TargetResource functionality with error message: Unknown quorum resource: File Share Witness

[constantinhager]

Details of the scenario you tried and the problem that is occurring: I have installed a Cluster. The Cluster Quorum is installed correctly (I see It in the Fail Over Cluster Manager). If I run the DSC Configuration again I get the following Error:

`PowerShell DSC resource MSFT_xClusterQuorum failed to execute Test-TargetResource functionality with error message: Unknown quorum resource: File Share Witness

• CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [], CimException
• FullyQualifiedErrorId : ProviderOperationExecutionFailure
• PSComputerName : SQL1`

`The SendConfigurationApply function did not succeed.

• CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (root/Microsoft/...gurationManager:String) [], CimException
• FullyQualifiedErrorId : MI RESULT 1
• PSComputerName : SQL1`

DSC Config in Attachment DSCConfig.txt

Version of the Operating System and PowerShell the DSC Target Node is running: Windows Server 2016 Insider Preview Build Number: 16299 Version: 10.0.16299

PowerShell Version: 5.1.16299.98

Version of the DSC module you're using, or 'dev' if you're using current dev branch: dev

I think you hit an error that is solved in the Dev version, but not yet released. See the change log under the Unreleased section; https://github.com/PowerShell/xFailOverCluster/blob/dev/CHANGELOG.md.

Could you verify that is indeed your problem?

[constantinhager]

Yes that is indeed my problem. I downloaded the xFailOverCluster Module yesterday. I will test It again when the release is there.

I'm having a similar issue in 1.8.0.0:

VERBOSE: [FKV03SPDB]: LCM:  [ End    Test     ]  [[xClusterQuorum]Quorum]  in 0.3130 seconds.
PowerShell DSC resource MSFT_xClusterQuorum  failed to execute Test-TargetResource functionality with error message:

The configuration:

        xClusterQuorum Quorum
        {
            IsSingleInstance        = 'Yes'
            Type                    = 'NodeAndFileShareMajority'
            Resource                = $mainParameters.SQLWSFCWitnessShare
        }

compiled:

{
ResourceID = "[xClusterQuorum]Quorum";
 Type = "NodeAndFileShareMajority";
 SourceInfo = "C:\\Projects\\Unionen_Intranet_SharePoint2016Upgrade\\SPUpgrade\\DSC\\WSFC.ps1::70::9::xClusterQuorum";
 IsSingleInstance = "Yes";
 ModuleName = "xFailOverCluster";
 Resource = "\\\\fkv01spadmin\\sqlwscfwitnessprod";
 ModuleVersion = "1.8.0.0";

 ConfigurationName = "WSFC";

};
