Hi there I have an active\active E2k box and there is only one thing I like about it - it looks good on a resume.
Here is why I am not happy with clustering Exchange: If you have a problem with email, you need to see if you have a cluster issue or Exchange issue before you can start to look at your problem. There are extra steps needed to get a front end\back end configuration to work. You cannot have a cluster as the first server in a mixed site becase clustering does not support the SRS service. My cluster LOVES to roll itself (although infrequently) - sometimes with nothing in the event viewer to tell my why. If you ever have to perform a disaster recovery, the cluster is going to make the job that much more complicated Exchange is complex enough without making it more complicated by installing it on a cluster. Learn from our mistake - don't do it.

Each server would have about 800 active users and would probably be connected to a SAN for the shared storage. I have heard that there were memory issues with this setup pre SP3. I would like to know if there are any other problems and if it is worth doing Thanks in advance Imran _________________________________________________________________ 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] _________________________________________________________________ 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]
