I have a windows Server 2008 R2 cluster and I would like to be able to distinguish between a user initiated failover and a failover caused be a resource check failing.

I was hoping that the cluster service would write this information to the event log; but it appears this is not occurring. is there any way to make the cluster service write an event to the event log when a failover occurs?

I need to check and see whether the log contains this information. I was hoping for something that would write directly to either the application or system event log. – Jason Horner Mar 8 '11 at 15:20
