Each of the failover cluster wizards in Windows Server 2008 R2 produces a report of its actions. This topic describes how to view the report of a particular wizard by clicking a button on the last page of that wizard or by opening a report from a specific folder in Windows Server 2008 R2.

Membership in the local Administrators group, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure. Review details about using the appropriate accounts and group memberships at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83477.

To view a report of the actions of a failover cluster wizard
  • Choose one of the following options:

    • If the wizard for which you want to view a report is displayed, proceed through the wizard until you are on the Summary page, and then click View Report.

    • If you ran the wizard but it is not displayed now, use Windows Explorer or another method to navigate to the following location and open the report you want:

      systemroot\Cluster\Reports

Additional considerations

  • To open the failover cluster snap-in, click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Failover Cluster Manager. If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Yes.
