Quorum doesn't move with group on Cluster (2008R2)

Having manually moved the SQL Resource group to another node on a Server2008R2 cluster, it was noticed that the Quorum was still on the original node.

The Quorum sits in a separate hidden resource group from SQL server and is quite happy operating on a different node.

This hidden resource group can be seen through the command line but not through the gui.

c:\cluster group Will return a list of all the resource groups and their status

The Quorum is in the resource group "Cluster Group"

To move this resource to a new node simply execute:
c:\cluster group "Cluster Group" /move
