ERROR_CLUSTER_NO_SECURITY_CONTEXT

The operation lacks the required security context to act on the cluster. This can occur with remote administration, scheduled tasks, service accounts, constrained delegation, or an account that does not have the required cluster permissions.

What to check

  • Confirm the identity under which the command or service is running and whether it is authorized for the cluster operation.
  • For remote management, verify that the target cluster and authentication path are the intended ones.
  • Correlate Security and FailoverClustering events instead of weakening permissions broadly to make the error disappear.
