Is anyone aware of a utility or a script that is available that would allow
an automated failover of a SQL Server Virtual Cluster Resource Group to
another node in the cluster?

Would like to call it out remotely via a scheduler process or SQL Agent..

thanks

What version of the OS?

cluster.exe will work for you in most cases, and you can script it and then
run it via the task scheduler

Hi Tom,
You can use the command "cluster group <groupname> /move" or equivallent
Powershell script to remotely failover your cluster. Here are some articles
for your references:
