DRAG DROP
Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain
contains four member servers named Server1, Server2, Servers, and Server4. All servers
run Windows Server 2012 R2.
Server1 and Server2 are located in a site named Site1. Server3 and Server4 are located in a
site named Site2. The servers are configured as nodes in a failover cluster named Cluster1.
Cluster1 is configured to use the Node Majority quorum configuration.
You need to ensure that Server1 is the only server in Site1 that can vote to maintain quorum.
What should you run from Windows PowerShell?
To answer, drag the appropriate commands to the correct location. Each command may be
used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes
or scroll to view content.

Get-ClusterNode Server 2 | $_.NodeWeight = 0
(Get-ClusterNode –name “Server2”).NodeWeight=0

Also here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770620%28v=ws.10%29.aspx#BKMK_node_weight
To configure a node so that it does not have a vote, at the command prompt, type:
cluster . node /prop NodeWeight=0
This sets the NodeWeight property to 0. Similarly, to return the node to having a vote, set the NodeWeight property to 1.
This is one of those tricky questions.
REMEMBER: This question can be answered leaving “Site2” out!
FOCUS: Site1.
There are 2 Servers, both have a vote by default(!).
So you have to “Silence” Server2.
Like bobsmith said:
(Get-ClusterNode –name “Server2″).NodeWeight=0
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770620%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
this is correct, server 1 and server 2 both have a node weight of 1 by default (so they both get a vote). So you remove the vote from server 2 so that server 1 is the only one that gets a vote.

“Node vote assignment
In Windows Server 2012, as an advanced quorum configuration option, you can choose to assign or remove quorum votes on a per-node basis. By default, all nodes are assigned votes. Regardless of vote assignment, all nodes continue to function in the cluster, receive cluster database updates, and can host applications.
You might want to remove votes from nodes in certain disaster recovery configurations. For example, in a multisite cluster, you could remove votes from the nodes in a backup site so that those nodes do not affect quorum calculations. This configuration is recommended only for manual failover across sites. For more information, see Quorum considerations for disaster recovery configurations later in this topic.
The configured vote of a node can be verified by looking up the NodeWeight common property of the cluster node by using the Get-ClusterNode Windows PowerShell cmdlet. A value of 0 indicates that the node does not have a quorum vote configured. A value of 1 indicates that the quorum vote of the node is assigned, and it is managed by the cluster. For more information about management of node votes, see Dynamic quorum management later in this topic.”
