HyperV Service behavior during iSCSI storage failover

we have a 4 node 2008 r2 cluster using clustered shared volumes hyperv guests connected to iscsi storage clustered.  the storage 2 node sun 7410.  when failover the sun storage, the guests perform differently each time.  sometimes they pause until storage comes online, migrate to different 2008 r2 node or turn off , boot.  seems random since 2 guests i'm testing different things each time fail between sun storage heads.    what typical behavior of clustered application when its connection iscsi storage temporarily lost nodes?  is there way modify behavior? the storage drops between 2 6 pings before responds when failing between the heads.  take minute or 2 before iscsi connection comes up. before servers in cluster, guests pause 5 60 seconds until iscsi connections reconnected.  jon hi jon you may check if settings of both storage nodes identical. i think should involve storage vendor check settings.

Does a DFS Namespace Server need the Role "DFS Namespace" installed ?

hi it's not joke, it's serious question. we got domain domain controllers on windows 2008r2 , 2012r2.  dfs namespaces role ist installed, configured , functioning on 2012r2 servers. don't use dfs replication. recently, added 2 2008r2 domain controllers additional namespace servers. got no error, though role "dfs namespaces" ist not installed on these servers. so question is, role not necessary on namepace server or 2 2008r2 server not acting namespace servers? thanks answers, juerg hi juerg, as far know, once you've installed dfs namespaces, dfs replication, or both, can use dfs management console manage related features. need dfs-namespace installed on namespace server or of them. need dfs-r installed on replication group member servers. best regards, mary please remember mark replies answers if help. if have feedback technet subscriber support, contact tnmff@microsoft.com .

Impact of Domain policy on a local server account

good day, i wondering impact on domain policy on local server account. in other words, have server logging onto domain inherits domain policies including audit, password restrictions, etc. understanding applies domain account not local account. way have activities logged local account set local policies. is correct? or domain policies apply domain , locally logged in accounts? any feedback appreciated or if there official literature may identify this, great. "computer" part of gpo apply regardless of kind of account user has.. applied if no user logs on machine. "user" part of policy taken gpo applies user's domain account. if log on local user account, local user policies apply. can override behavior activating loopback policy processing. loopback take "user" part of gpo  that applies machine , process when user logs on.   gleb.
