DRAG DROP
Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain
contains four member servers named Server1, Server2, Server3, and Server4. All servers
run Windows Server 2012 R2.
Server1 and Server3 are located in a site named Site1. Server2 and Server4 are located in a
site named Site2. The servers are configured as nodes in a failover cluster named Cluster1.
Dynamic quorum management is disabled.
Cluster1 is configured to use the Node Majority quorum configuration.
You need to ensure that users in Site2 can access Cluster1 if the network connection
between the two sites becomes unavailable.
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.
Does this question makes sende? I saw a similar one:

in this case correct would be:
Get-ClusterNode Server2 | $_.NodeWeight = 0

Yes, and the answer is correct.
I think it’s a reworded question to make it more confusing, maybe because people study the dumps 😛
It’s saying Server 1+3 in Site 1, Server 2+4 in Site 2, Site 2 needs to be the cluster node if the Site link is lost. Removing the vote for one of the servers in Site 1 makes it so that Site 1 will ALWAYS have majority, unless BOTH servers in Site 2 are lost, which would then cause there to be no cluster, as too many nodes will have failed.
yes its correct Get-ClusterNode Server2 | $_.NodeWeight = 0
Agree with Sam.
When the link between the sites are lost, there are no Majority on both sides. The configuration with Node Majority and Dynamic Quorum Management disabled, would lead to have no working cluster on both sides, because 2 of 4 are still 50%, which is not a Majority. So to have the cluster running in site 2, you need to take out a host in site 2 from voting. You can reach this configuration with:
Get-ClusterNode Server2 | $_.NodeWeight = 0
If you remove the vote from server2 then site1 will be the majority. So you need to remove the vote from server1 instead.
Forgot the Link to my informations:

The answer is correct which is Get-ClusterNode Server1 | $_.NodeWeight = 0
because during cluster configuring this command will make the Node Majority for all cluster nodes and odd number, so when the connection between the two sites lost then Site2 will think that Site1 is failed and Site1 will still be running because it is the winner because it has two nodes whereas Site1 has only one Node which is Server2 because Server1 Node Weight is set to 0.
best explanation for me.. thank you:)
Answer is correct for the question:
if link fails you want site2 to have more votes than site1 therefore take a vote away from site1, only option is server1
set a node in site 1 to not have a vote, all nodes vote by default so you need to set the node weight to be 0.
Server1 is in site 1
Is answer correct with this question ? I think I see the similar question as Sam said.
Please take note that Dynamic quorum is disabled….. There is also another version of this question but “Dynamic quorum” is not indicated on the question..
