Yikes, no. We have an E2K active/passive cluster where the passive node is located in a DR site (the nodes are fooled into thinking they share a hard drive). We have two DCs in the main office (one's also a GC) that serve about 250 users and we have one DC/GC in a secondary (not DR) office that serves about 20 users. Exchange is only configured to use the local DC and DC/GC. The remote DC/GC is used primarily for logins (it's got some other stuff on it but nothing related to Exchange).
I should have said that my DCs can handle the traffic sent their way by the Exchange server. Plus I may have oversnipped. My original post questioned why stopping & restarting the HTTP cluster resource resolved a performance problem that had been going on for a bit more than an hour. -----Original Message----- From: Tony Hlabse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 02, 2003 2:47 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: http Are you saying that you have Exchange running on your DC/GC machines? If so not a good idea unless it is a very small environment. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jon Hill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 02, 2003 2:40 PM Subject: RE: http Our DCs should be able to handle Exchange (three DCs with dual 1.24GHz and 1GB RAM for <300 users). This was a one-time problem. We hardly ever have performance problems like this. Thanks for the info. -----Original Message----- From: John W.

We moved to Exchange as part of a University System-wide change. Our DCs were given to us preconfigured. After months of slow mail processing, and consulting with mSoft, we looked more closely at out DCs. They were woefully under powered and had far too little RAM. Upgrading the domain controllers, esp. the Global Catalogs, to dual processors with >= Gig of Ram eliminated most of the delays. It's worth a look, at least. Good luck.
