View the cluster configuration log

To view the cluster configuration log

Open Command Prompt
Locate the ClCfgSrv.log file.
By default, the log file for the New Server Cluster Wizard and the Add Nodes Wizard can be found at %systemroot%\system32\LogFiles\Cluster\ClCfgSrv.log.
Use any text editor to view the log file.

Important

After using the New Server Cluster Wizard and the Add Nodes Wizard from a remote computer, the cluster configuration log file generated by those wizards is saved to the remote computer. This log file may contain company-sensitive data such as a complete description of the cluster configuration, including IP addresses. This information could be used by malicious users to attack the cluster; it is recommended that you restrict access to that file to cluster administrators and the Cluster service account. For more information, see Best practices for securing server clusters.

If you do not have administrative rights on the node on which you are using the New Server Cluster Wizard or Add Nodes Wizard, the log file will be written to the local %Temp% directory.
This log file contains all of the errors, warnings, and informational messages that have been generated by the New Server Cluster Wizard or the Add Nodes Wizard when creating a new cluster or when the cluster membership changes (for example, if a new node is added to the cluster).
You can use this log file to troubleshoot cluster setup and configuration issues.
