DESCRIPTION


The Add-ClusterScaleOutFileServerRole cmdlet creates a clustered file server for scale-out application data. A file server for scale-out application data provides storage
for applications or virtual machines that leave files open for extended periods of time. Client connections are distributed across nodes for better throughput. This type of
file server supports the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. It does not support the Network File System (NFS) protocol, or certain role services such as File Server
Resource Manager (FSRM) or Distributed File System (DFS) Replication.


Note: This cmdlet cannot be run remotely without Credential Security Service Provider (CredSSP) authentication on the server computer.
