Use directory on netlogon for quorum

Hi,

No, it's not recommended to use the netlogon shared folder for witness, please create a common shared folder for cluster witness. As for the permission of the shared folder, please add the CNO and the nodes computer account in the shared folder's ACL, and give the full control rights to the objects.

Thanks for your time!
Best Regards,
Anne

Hi,

As mentioned, it is recommended to use separate file share folder for a file share witness. Alternatively, you can setup Cloud Witness or a Disk Witness.
