Get witness disk current vote via PowerShell

  • 772

I am trying to verify functionality of dynamic quorum in a new failover cluster setup.

Is there a command in PowerShell that I can use to see the current vote for the witness disk? I have been digging through TechNet, and have been unsuccessful locating the command (if it even exists in the first place).

powershell windows-server-2012-r2 failovercluster

    In Windows Server 2012 R2, "The clustering service will automatically assign the witness a vote, the witness dynamic vote, depending on if there is an odd or even number of votes present for the cluster nodes."

    "To check the vote status of the witness, use the Windows PowerShell command below. A return of 1 means the witness has a vote; a return of 0 means the witness doesn't have a vote."
