OK Ill ask the question another way

Do both nodes share data on a shared moolde-data folder? I mean is it likely that moodle will try to write to the same data from both nodes. I believe they might do and that's why one needs a clustered file system.

Greetings Albert,

first I think Windows is much more difficult to configure Moodle.
I myself never did and I also have those doubts. If you know of something to share with us.

It all depends platform one is more confortable with, From absolute start to finish, it doesnt takes more than 20 minutes to start moodle, where I said start (it includes all Installations and configurations of IIS, PHP and  MySQL/MariaDB).

Albert, I haven't tested it myself, but DFS-R is correct way to synchronize, on clustering (farming) scenario, you can either go with NLB or ARR, both are available in IIS where ARR gives more control over how to distribute the users overs servers. So I assume, for data-root you can always assign a single server.
