Mapping Cluster.exe Commands to Windows PowerShell Cmdlets for Failover Clusters

  • Artigo

Updated: October 1, 2009

Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2

This topic maps Cluster.exe commands to Windows PowerShell cmdlets and commands for failover clusters running Windows Server® 2008 R2. Although Cluster.exe is included in Windows Server 2008 R2, Microsoft's intention is to deprecate it in favor of Windows PowerShell. Therefore, we recommend that customers who want to use a command-line interface for failover clustering learn about Windows PowerShell, and change scripts over to use Windows PowerShell.

For information about using Windows PowerShell, see Additional references, later in this topic.

This topic contains sections that cover the following commands:

  • Cluster commands and equivalent Windows PowerShell cmdlets

  • Cluster node commands and equivalent Windows PowerShell cmdlets

  • Cluster group commands and equivalent Windows PowerShell cmdlets

  • Cluster resource commands and equivalent Windows PowerShell cmdlets

  • Cluster network commands, cluster netinterface commands, and equivalent Windows PowerShell cmdlets

  • Cluster resourcetype commands and equivalent Windows PowerShell cmdlets
