Thanks for the links Greg... Actually the hardware was already bought and "the powers above" just instructed that a cluster must be implemented ASAP, so I'll have to get it done...
Just for you to see how dumb managers can be, they told me they wanted all their domains (54 companies, with 54 different sub-domains) to be hosted by the same Domain Controller.... I almost had a heart attack when I heard that. And can you believe that they kept insisting that it was possible, even after I said it wasn't?

Generally, Exchange and SQL server are best implemented on separate boxes. In fact, you may get better performance by implementing these as stand-alone servers due to the overhead of clustering. And if you put in the right hardware configuration of disks and redundant power supplies, etc. you can achieve close to the level of fault tolerance as with a cluster. > Dear List Gurus, > > I have been asked to design and implement a solution with Exchange and > SQL in a Windows 200 Adv Server Cluster.
