Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have some computers that are running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Server Core or Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter Server Core.

  • You have some other computers that are running Windows Server 2008 R2 and that have the Hyper-V role installed.

  • You install the Failover Clustering feature on these computers.

  • You run the Validate Operating System Installation Option test on these computers from a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

In this scenario, you do not receive the following important message from the Validate Operating System Installation Option test:

The operating system install type (Full/Core/Hyper-V Server) is not the same for all of the servers.

Cause

This issue occurs because the Validate Operating System Installation Option test may identify the computers that are running Windows Server 2008 R2 Server Core incorrectly.
