In this challenge, you will configure a cluster by using the Scale-Out File Server feature and Storage Spaces Direct. First, you will install the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) and the File Services and Failover Clustering features on three servers, and then you will create a cluster. Next, you will enable Storage Spaces Direct on the three members of the cluster node, and then you will create a storage pool. Finally, you will create a volume by using Cluster Shared Volumes, and then you will create a file share on the scale-out file server. Note: Once you begin a challenge you will not be able to pause, save, or exit and then return to your challenge. Please ensure you have set aside enough time to complete the challenge before you start.
