I tested in my lab. Correct answer is B & E. ***Explanation: This command (wmic ComputerSystem Set Workgroup= "Workgroup2") no change the workgroup name. I restarted my lab's pc and the workgroup name was the same. The workgroup names could be different, but the hosts must has "the same DNS suffix". My lab: PC1: LON-SVR1 / WG: WORKGROUP1 PC2: LON-SVR2 / WG: WORKGROUP2 DNS SUFFIX (To LON-SVR1 and LON-SVR2): contoso.com WORKGROUP CLUSTER: ClusterTest The commands were the following: 1) netdom computername LON-SVR1 /add:LON-SVR1.contoso.com 2) netdom computername LON-SVR1 /MakePrimary:LON-SVR1.contoso.com 3) New-Cluster -name ClusterTest -node LON-SVR1,LON-SVR2 -StaticAddress 172.16.0.220 -AdministrativeAccessPoint DNS my screenshots: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1xdsnnNOfx0m9rgaM1eqh6auzvor2qPNy?usp=sharing

Correct answer is B & E. The servers do not need to be in the same workgroup but require the same DNS suffix

From where did you get that it will be AD failover cluster? Where this was mentioned? It's workgroup cluster which requires same suffix, same local admin, administrativeAccessPoint = DNS and maybe same workgroup (not sure about last) http://woshub.com/workgroup-failover-cluster-windows-server-2016/

That's irrelevant. E configures the DNS suffix which is required for a workgroup cluster. They don't need to be in the same workgroup, thus A is wrong

wmic ComputerSystem Set Workgroup= "Workgroup2" is not a valid command, the valid command is: wmic computersystem where name="%computername%" call joindomainorworkgroup name="Workgroup2" This makes A a wrong answer. The correct answer is B & E (as netdom command is correct and required to add the dns suffix)

Aldrid 11 months, 1 week ago wrote: netdom /MakePrimary - is rename command - focus on this (you will only rename the server) - in that case in the way of elimination (we point B and every one is agree with that so C, D can't be the proper answer) if we eliminate E - stays A & B Because the Question is: Which two commands should you run? They should ask about 1 command with those answers. I think it should be only B becaus I agree that workgroup does not matter :). NETDOM ComputerName /MakePrimary Make an existing alternate name into the primary name. The name being made primary must be a fully qualified DNS name (FQDN - computer name followed by primary DNS suffix, such as comp1.example.com.). https://ss64.com/nt/netdom-computername.html

As per MS netdom cmds are applied up until server 2012*. This makes E not correct. Between B-C-D the correct one is B. A does not fully serve the requirement but is the "most" correct one. Can some add to this thoughts? *https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-r2-and-2012/cc772217(v=ws.11)

I agree that the use of netdom is suspicious. But the primary DNS suffix is a requirement and the same Workgroup name is not. So it must be E as the second answer. Netdom still works in the CMD line in new OSes. It is just deprecated.

I agree there is some confusion over netdom. But the fact is that the primary DNS suffix must be the same on both nodes. So it must be B + E. If you run an ipconfig and look for a primary DNS suffix you will see that it has nothing to do with the Workgroup name. The Workgroup name is irrelevant as Workgroup Clusters use DNS for resolution and therefore only rely on the DNS suffix.

E Make Not sens for a nondomain Computer. For a domain computer you have first to use netdom computername blabla /add:blablabla.ccc.xxx and after makePrimary A you change the workgroup name

wmic change the workgroup but don't set the primary DNS (needed for the cluster with a DNS administrative point. the netdom command sets a primary DNS : (it's the given example) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-r2-and-2012/cc835082(v=ws.11) netdom computername dc /makeprimary:altdc.example.com To rename a member server, you must use one of the existing alternate names for the computer as the new primary name. in our case it change server 1 into server1.contoso.com hence B & E

I think A is correct at least. I have decided that based on an assumption that servers on workgroup cluster have to join same workgroup. I checked following link, it's Microsoft document, which describes the workgroup cluster composed of two nodes in same workgroup. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/sql/virtual-machines-windows-sql-workgroup-availability-group

Since DNS is based on the same domainname suffix, and this is a requirement for non-AD based failover clusters, there is no need to have the computers in the same workgroup. So A is irrelevant but E is! so I agree that the answer is B & E
