#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : Failover Cluster event 1135 -- a node was removed from the active failover cluster membership Fix : Find the scheduled load that is starving the heartbeat Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/srv-cluster-1135 Run as : Elevated PowerShell Expect : 1 hour Risk : low Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX Evictions cluster around a particular time. HOW TO UNDO IT None -- this is scheduling and topology, not configuration to undo. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
