RE: Cluster setup
You can configure it as a replica all you want - but that doesn't make the SIDs the same. Regards, Michael B.

I found an article that states that if my exchange server was to go down I can move it over to new hardware within limited time. My current plan is to configure the sever as replica and keep it offline until I need to do a failover. Has anyone ever done this and if you have how can I keep the standby server updated with the latest database.
