DisableGroupPreferredOwnerRandomization

[This property is no longer available for use as of Windows Server 2012.]

This property is not supported.

**Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2003: **

Controls whether the cluster service randomizes its internal list of available nodes in the event of a group failover event.

Attribute Value
Data type DWORD
Access Read/write
Structure CLUSPROP_DWORD
Minimum FALSE (0). The cluster service selects a node at random when a group failover event occurs.
Maximum TRUE (1). The cluster service selects a node in order of the internal node list when a group failover event occurs.
Default FALSE

Remarks

If a preferred owner list for resource groups is not specified, the cluster service randomizes the list it keeps internally to describe which node is selected for use when a group failover event occurs. If an ordered list is required for failover, this property should be set to true to disable this randomization

Examples

The property value portion of a property list entry for EnableEventLogReplication can be set with the following example code:

CLUSPROP_DWORD PropertyValue;
PropertyValue.Syntax.dw = CLUSPROP_SYNTAX_LIST_VALUE_DWORD;
PropertyValue.cbLength = sizeof(DWORD);
PropertyValue.dw = TRUE;
