SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario:
- You install Failover Clustering on a Windows Server 2008-based computer.
- One or more private property names of the Cluster objects contain characters that are not supported by Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).
In this scenario, any WMI queries against the Failover Clustering WMI provider fail.
For example, you receive the following error message when you use WMI to enumerate all instances of the MSCluster_Resource type:
Notes
- Valid characters include lowercase letters (a-z), uppercase letters (A-Z), numbers (0-9), and the underscore character (_) character.
- A property name ending with (_) is an invalid property name.
- Property names must start with a letter.
- This issue occurs only when the names of the private properties contain unsupported characters. This restriction does not apply to the values of the private properties. For example, resource and group names can have the hyphen (-) character and other characters.
