Update adds four-node failover cluster deployment support in Windows Server 2012


View products that this article applies to.

Introduction

This update introduces a new feature for the OEM Appliance OOBE feature to support four-node failover cluster deployment in Windows Server 2012. This update also adds a wizard to create a domain controller on a Hyper-V virtual machine to use in a first-server environment. The wizard supports the Cluster-in-a-Box design.

Notes
  • Currently, the OEM Appliance OOBE feature supports only two-node failover cluster deployment.
  • This update is not intended for installation by end-users. This is an optional update for OEM computer manufacturers that use the OEM Appliance OOBE feature for rapid server deployment.
