The argument is null or empty string. Parameter name: domainName Windows Server > High Availability (Clustering) Question 0 Sign in to vote I get a non-recoverable error when I try to form a new cluster from the GUI. I get to the point where I am to assign the cluster name and its IP address. After I enter the information and pressing next I get the following message: Error in Validation. The argument is null or empty string. Parameter name: domainName Pressing OK closes the wizard and returns to Failover Cluster Management. This happens if I add just one or both nodes to the Create cluster wizard. However, using the cluster.exe command to form the cluster with just one node works successfully. Adding the second node through the GUI now works. Is this just a GUI BUG or is it something that the CLUSTER.EXE command isn't robust enough to handle when it forms the cluster? Background Info: I'm trying to form a two-node cluster for Exchange CCR using a File Share Withness. All validations comlpete successfully except for the tests for shared storage. I managed to get around this problem by using the CLUSTER.EXE command but it would have been nice to know what causes the error in the GUI. (An error message that is a bit more descriptive would have been nice too...) LA.

Windows cluster today (Windows Server 2008 R2) for our new SQL Server 2012 cluster, I came across the following error: Error in Validation. The argument is null or empty string. Parameter name: domainName If I fully qualify the server name and try again, the following error came up: The NetBIOS name is limited to 15 characters. The NetBios name will be shortened to "jcsql2012cla.ad". To resolve this error, do the following: 1.

You will then need to reboot Once the server comes back up, try creating the Windows cluster again and you should be able to continue without this error.

In fact I am unable to use volume GUIDs at all in any file related functions as it doesn't like the "?" character I think which is technically an invalid character in a filename. Is there any secret way of escaping a volume guid so that powershell can accept it. Thanks Daniel

I thought this will be fine because we have another node and that would take on the work - however, in failover cluster manager the
