Failover Cluster Command Interface deprecated

The cluster.exe command-line tool for Failover Clustering was deprecated for Windows Server 2012 platforms. The commands Startup_clu.cmd, ShutDown_clu.cmd, and clusterupg do not work.

Cause and solution:

This occurs because of the deprecation of the cluster.exe command-line tool for Failover Clustering on Windows Server 2012 platforms. To avoid this problem, you must reinstall the deprecated Failover Clustering feature cluster.exe.
