Today we, Paul Huijbregts and I, resolved one of the last hurdles in finalizing our automated cluster installation script. This hurdle was to change the priority of the Live Migration settings when creating a Hyper-V cluster. To change this priority we first tried to use the Set-VMMigrationNetwork PowerShell command.

For Windows Server 2012 clusters it was still very difficult to find a complete list of hotfixes. In the past there were blogs and other locations for Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V and clusters, but not always authorized by Microsoft.
