RE: [Exchange2000] An Active/Active cluster installation of excha nge

Title: Message



We 
have been using the active/active cluster for about a year now and are going 
though a VERY controlled migration to Exchange from VMS so the Ex5.5 to E2K 
hurdles were not an issue. Most of the issues came from the front-end 
back-end setup and not the cluster setup. I think we jumped on the 
active/active bandwagon early via politics. We are currently running quad 
XEON 700's in the cluster and 2 dual 833's on the front end. We have 
around 730 people on E2K at present but the end result will be 15000 
mailboxes.

  You are, of course, correct.
  
  Are you moving from 5.5 to 2K?

Is there anything that they forget to tell 
you in these papers. 

Only that the return seems to exceed the 
effort. 

Active/Passive is best for now.

  But 
  yes. Dallas has 12 people migrated with 100 more this week to my first
