Configuration ClusterPreferredOwner_AddPreferredOwnerConfig
{
    Import-DscResource -ModuleName FailoverClusterDsc
 
    Node localhost
    {
        ClusterPreferredOwner 'AddOwnersForClusterGroup1'
        {
            Ensure = 'Present'
            ClusterName = 'TESTCLU1'
            ClusterGroup = 'Cluster Group 1'
            Nodes = @('Node1', 'Node2')
            ClusterResources = @('Resource1', 'Resource2')
        }
 
        ClusterPreferredOwner 'AddOwnersForClusterGroup2'
        {
            Ensure = 'Present'
            ClusterName = 'TESTCLU1'
            ClusterGroup = 'Cluster Group 2'
            Nodes = @('Node1', 'Node2')
            ClusterResources = @('Resource3', 'Resource4')
        }
    }
}
 
.EXAMPLE 2
 
This example shows how to remove two preferred owners from a failover cluster
group and cluster resources in the failover cluster. This will leave any
