Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains two
servers named Node1and Node2. Node1and Node2 run Windows Server 2012 R2. Node1and Node2
are configured as a two-node failover cluster named Cluster2.
The computer accounts for all of the servers reside in an organizational unit (OU) named Servers.
A user named User1 is a member of the local Administrators group on Node1and Node2.
User1 creates a new clustered File Server role named File1 by using the File Server for general use
option. A report is generated during the creation of File1 as shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit
button.)
File1 fails to start.
You need to ensure that you can start File1.
What should you do?
A.
Increase the value of the ms-DS-MachineAccountQuota attribute of the domain.
B.
Assign the user account permissions of User1 to the Servers OU.
C.
Assign the computer account permissions of Cluster2 to the Servers OU.
D.
Recreate the clustered File Server role by using the File Server for scale-out application data
option.
E.
Log on to the domain by using the built-in Administrator for the domain, and then recreate the
clustered File Server role by using the File Server for general use option.
I don’t think D is correct. Question is not suggestion anything about the need to have scale-out file serving. And there isn’t any error code giving information that might be related to scale-out file serving

A. Log on to the domain by using the built-in Administrator for the domain, and then recreate the clustered File Server role by using the File Server for general use option:
It is not required that the cluster creator has to have domain admin privilege (Deploy an Active Directory-Detached Cluster).
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn265970.aspx
C. Assign the computer account permissions of Cluster2 to the Servers OU:
This step has to be done prior of creating the cluster (Prestage Cluster Computer Objects in Active Directory Domain Services).
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn466519.aspx
D. Increase the value of the ms-DS-MachineAccountQuota attribute of the domain:
This is not the issue because the user account which is used to create the cluster already doesn’t have permission to create active directory object.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd391926(v=ws.10).aspx
E. Recreate the clustered File Server role by using the File Server for scale-out application data option:
This is not related to the issue.
File Server for general use:
When you select this option, you have support for SMB and NFS shares, and you can also use File Server Resource Manager, Distributed File System Replication and other File Services role services.
File Server for scale-out application data:
When you select this role, there is support only for SMB v3 shares; that is, there is no support for NFS shares. In addition, with this configuration you will not be able to use some file server role services, such as FSRM and DFS replication.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831349.aspx
B. Assign the user account permissions of User1 to the Servers OU:
This is the correct choice.
You must configure permissions so that the user account that will be used to create the failover cluster has Full Control permissions to the Cluster Name Object (CNO).

Requirements related to failover clusters, Active Directory domains, and accounts
As described in the preceding three sections, certain requirements must be met before clustered services and applications can be successfully configured on a failover cluster. The most basic requirements concern the location of cluster nodes (within a single domain) and the level of permissions of the account of the person who installs the cluster. If these requirements are met, the other accounts required by the cluster can be created automatically by the failover cluster wizards. The following list provides details about these basic requirements.
Nodes: All nodes must be in the same Active Directory domain. (The domain cannot be based on Windows NT 4.0, which does not include Active Directory.)
Account of the person who installs the cluster: The person who installs the cluster must use an account with the following characteristics:
o The account must be a domain account. It does not have to be a domain administrator account. It can be a domain user account
o The account must have administrative permissions on the servers that will become cluster nodes. The simplest way to provide this is to create a domain user account, and then add that account to the local Administrators group on each of the servers that will become cluster nodes.
o The account (or the group that the account is a member of) must be given the Create Computer objects and Read All Properties permissions in the container that is used for computer accounts in the domain. Another alternative is to make the account a domain administrator account.
o If your organization chooses to prestage the cluster name account (a computer account with the same name as the cluster), the prestaged cluster name account must give “Full Control” permission to the account of the person who installs the cluster.

A and B – can be avoided by pre-staging the objects in AD. Either User1 has adequate permissions to create computer objects or they were pre-staged, because the cluster gets created.
C – The Cluster Node Object (CNO) needs full control over the VCO. The computer account…which computer account are they referring to?
E – A General use Cluster was successfully created by User1. Why would the Domain Admin need to recreate the same thing?
That leaves D – According to http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2013/12/05/to-scale-out-or-not-to-scale-out-that-is-the-question.aspx General Use File Servers can not use Cluster Shared Volume File System (CVS). The first line of the report shows the storage is Cluster Disk 2.
So, I am inclined to accept the given answer.

I’m inclined to go for B. the reason: the user has local admin rights on both servers, and can create the cluster, but: he/she doesn’t have any rights on the cluster itself, which is also a network object. The cluster is added to the servers ou. giving the user rights to the servers ou will fix that.
