After you have created a Windows Server 2012 R2 failover cluster you may receive event id 1196 errors in Cluster Events.

I checked my setup of DNS, CNO permissions however I couldn’t see the problem. Then I came across this comment on a blog post by Ben Rubinstein. Basically when you create a cluster is tries to register with all configured DNS Servers. I had both my DC and my home router setup as DNS servers on one of the Cluster nodes. I removed my home router and then failed over the core roles to the other node. This registered the records fine.
