Symptoms

Cluster Aware Updating (CAU) may fail when attempting a Self-Updating run if a prestaged VCO name is longer than 15 characters. You may receive one of the following error messages:

(CimException) Access is denied. HRESULT 0x80070005

Additionally, the following Event IDs are logged in the Microsoft-Windows-ClusterAwareUpdating-Management/Admin channel:
Note: these events may also be logged for reasons other than the VCO name length

Cause
