Moving quorum to another node for Windows 2008 and 2012

Work on a SAN migration and need to move the quorum to the other node.  For Windows 2008, I find the post Windows Cluster: Moving Quorum Disk to Another Node 

To move it other node we have run below command.

cluster group "Cluster Group" /move 

In you have more nodes in your cluster and to move the 'cluster group' to a specific group use the below command.

cluster group "Cluster Group" /moveto:node5

For Windows 2012, actually, for some reason, the above command does not work.  Instead, I open to Failover Cluster Manager.  Right click on the initial cluster that was created when creating the cluster.  Select More Actions, Move core Cluster Resources and Select Node.  Now, you can failover the quorum to the other node.
