I'm running a Windows 2003 Cluster with two nodes running 2003 SP1. The two domain controllers I have are on seperate boxes. I'm looking at running Volume ShadowCopy to make copies of the data once a day. I'm also looking at installing File Server Management Console (FSMC) to prevent users from storing certain file types of a non-work nature. I understand I'll need to do install the role of File Server on the two Cluster nodes and install FSMC. Is enabling ShadowCopy and FSMC reasonably safe on a 2003 cluster? Has anyone hit issues with enabling/ installing these. I originally built this cluster and the AD environment a couple of years ago, and all has worked fine for that period. As I not an expert at Cluster 2003, I don't want to break something that has been working for some time, so any help you can offer would be most appreviated.

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
