We have set up a Cluster on Windows Server 2016. Initial validation succeeded, however I moved the computer object generated by the Cluster in active directory from it's default location to AD - Computers OU and now seeing this error:
"Cluster network name resource failed to find the associated computer object in Active Directory. This may impact functionality that is dependent on Cluster network name authentication.
Network Name: Cluster Name
Organizational Unit: OU=Windows DSC,DC=XXXXXXX,DC=Local"
Guidance:
Restore the computer object for the network name from the Active Directory recycle bin.

It was fine until I moved it to the computers OU. My question is, does it need to be in it's default location to work?
