exchange + mscs = sleep deprivation look forward to cluster services failing for no apparent reason, exchange services not responding properly to actions in cluster administrator, dubious failover etc etc
in 4 months with the cluster we had plenty of downtime during working hours, terrible. Since trashing the cluster and using the two servers as seperate exchange servers in the same site, we've had no downtime, and both servers are busy delivering mail instead of one just sitting there waiting to not work when called upon. while i'm on the subject, does anyone know the correct way to get exchange databases (particularly the directory i think) to forget that they are part of a clustered exchange server? . The problem is that the IMS won't install on a clean, non-clustered exchange server with restored databases from a clustered exchange server. It throws an error saying the cluster services aren't installed, so there must be something in the databases that tells exchange it should be on a cluster. i couldn't figure it out, so ended up migrating users to another server using ed's server move method. dan. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
