By default all computer objects are created in the same container as the cluster identity &#8216;DEMO-FSC1$&#8217;.      <br \/>&#8211; The quota for computer objects has not been reached.      <br \/>&#8211;

<\/p>\n<p>1) Open Active Directory Users And Computers.<\/p>\n<p>2) Enable Advanced view if not enabled.<\/p>\n<p>3) Edit the properties of the OU containing the cluster computer object<\/p>\n<p>4) Open the Security tab and click Advanced<\/p>\n<p>5) Click Add (opens Permission Entry dialog), click Select A Principal, Click Object Types and select Computers.&#160;
