Event log entry when moving service or application to another node

windows-clusterwindows-server-2008-r2

I have a windows Server 2008 R2 cluster and I would like to be able to distinguish between a user initiated failover and a failover caused be a resource check failing.

I was hoping that the cluster service would write this information to the event log; but it appears this is not occurring. is there any way to make the cluster service write an event to the event log when a failover occurs?
