Hi Nilesh,

Based on my research, to successfully create a cluster, either the installer must have the privileges needed to create computer objects in the default container for computers, or a computer object must be pre-created by a domain administrator.

More information for you:

Hi Nilesh,

Firstly, please run command whoami to confirm that the current logged on user is a domain administrator.

After that, ensure the servers local administrators group does contain the Domain Admins group.

Hi Nilesh,

I don't encounter this error message with a domain admin account when I am testing in my lab.

I suggest you log off then log back on to test.

If the issue persists, please use another domain admin account to see whether it works.

In addition, ensure that the account currently logged on is a member of local administrators on the server named STAF12R2CVM2.winvm.com.
