Trying to set Azure cloud witness remotely

PowerShell Help
1

Hello,
I have a large number of clusters all with the witness configured on a local file server. We need to move all of the witness to Azure cloud.

It seems like it should be easy, but i guess I am running into the “Double Hop” issue? Was wondering if anyone could confirm that.

When I run this locally it works, when I use it like this remotely, it fails saying cannot connect WinRM error etc…

$Clusters = "MyCluster"
foreach($cluster in $clusters){
    Invoke-Command -ComputerName "$cluster" -Scriptblock {Set-ClusterQuorum -CloudWitness -AccountName "MyAccount" -AccessKey "MyKey"
}

Thanks.

It looks like this command supports -Cluster in which case, WinRM/Invoke command should not be neccessary ?? (no way for me to test BTW). There are several items to take into account with Remote PowerShell/Invoke-Command. Your entire error you mentioned would be nice.

Set-ClusterQuorum -Cluster $cluster -CloudWitness -AccountName "MyAccount" -AccessKey "MyKey"

I tried like these:

Set-ClusterQuorum -cluster $cluster -CloudWitness -AccountName "MyAccount" -AccessKey "MyKey"

Set-ClusterQuorum: ERROR CODE : 0x80131500;
NATIVE ERROR CODE : 1.
 The WinRM client cannot process the request. The object contains an unrecognized argument: "SASToken". Verify that the spelling of the argument name is correct.
 
Set-ClusterQuorum -CloudWitness -AccountName "MyAccount" -AccessKey "MyKey" -Endpoint mycluster
