I am attempting to set up an always on cluster on
VMware for testing. setting up everything through the Failover cluster is fine,
the trouble comes when I try to set up the AlwaysOn availability group. Whenever
I attempt to specify a network location I receive the following error:
Operating System Error 1265(The system cannot contact a domain
controller to service the authentication request. Please try again later.).
I looked up this error and most sites point towards a Windows 8
homegroup issue. Since this is a on a domain, I don't think it is relevant. I
also added the service accounts from server A to Server B and visa versa. I even
added the computer objects to its opposite partner. All to no avail.
I have attempted to use "Join Only" and do a manual copy. I get the same error.
I'm at wit's end here. Any ideas?
