You are configuring a Windows Server 2016 failover cluster in a workgroup.
Before installing one of the nodes, you run the ipconfig /all command and receive the following output.
You need to ensure that Server1 can be added as a node in the cluster.
What should you do?

B. Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
C. Change the Node Type to Broadcast.
D. Assign a static IP address.
Explanation:
In addition to the pre-requisites of Single-domain clusters, there are additional pre-requisites for Multi-domain or Workgroup clusters in the Windows Server 2016 including Primary DNS Suffix Requirements.
- Each cluster node needs to have a primary DNS suffix.
- For Multi-domain Clusters: The DNS suffix for all the domains in the cluster, should be present on all cluster nodes…
Note: Failover Clusters can now be created in the following configurations:
- Single-domain Clusters: Clusters with all nodes joined to the same domain
- Multi-domain Clusters: Clusters with nodes which are members of different domains
- Workgroup Clusters: Clusters with nodes which are member servers / workgroup (not domain joined)
