I have created a cluster and then have created a file server service in the cluster. This creation happened with no errors or problems. The cluster came online.
My cluster is called: wincluster01
My file server is called: fileserver01
My 2 nodes: AD01 and AD02 (Both nodes are running AD and DNS)
The problem is everytime the server(s) are rebooted the cluster does not come up and there are these errors in the event viewer (I can manually bring the cluster up tho...):

So what I have done to troubleshoot this:
1) Checked that the Computer Objects exist in AD (WINCLUSTER01 and FILESERVER01). They both exist in the default location (Computers).
2) I have added the wincluster01$ (computer object account) to each computer above object with full control.
3) I have done all my work on AD01 (configured the cluster from this machine). When I shut down AD01, the cluster failsover to AD02 perfectly fine and everything starts working, the cluster comes online and the fileserver comes online. It appears to only be happening on AD01.
My cluster is called: wincluster01
My file server is called: fileserver01
My 2 nodes: AD01 and AD02 (Both nodes are running AD and DNS)
The problem is everytime the server(s) are rebooted the cluster does not come up and there are these errors in the event viewer (I can manually bring the cluster up tho...):
