  • You set the primary Domain Name Service (DNS) suffix of the Windows Server 2012 failover cluster to the disjoint domain name.
  • You create a Hyper-V Replica Broker in the failover cluster, and then you bring the Hyper-V Replica Broker online. 
In this scenario, this issue occurs, and an error message that resembles the following is logged in the cluster log:
