We are about to setup a system where the HW are not alike in a windows 2003 clustered environment: local disk-system is not alike, different CPU, same BIOS, same machine &quot;type&quot;. Will Exchange Server 2003 help us with this as Microsoft has worked with Excange to make it work &quot;well&quot; in a Clustered environment ?

We are about to setup a system where the HW are not alike in a windows 2003 clustered environment: local disk-system is not alike, different CPU, same BIOS, same machine "type". Will Exchange Server 2003 help us with this as Microsoft has worked with Excange to make it work "well" in a Clustered environment ? I.e. would you setup Exchange Server 2003 in such a clustered environment ?

Why HW must be alike in an &quot;Windows Server 2003 Cluster and Microsoft Exchange 2003&quot; environment

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
