Question on Windows File Share Witness for a CCR setup

I am going to have multipe Exchange 2007 CCR's. Four total. As far as the Windows File Share Witness, I am guessing I need a separate one for each Cluster. Assuming this, can they be on the same Hub Transport server? Does it make a difference what the actual share name is?

1) Yes, they can be on the Hub Transport Server. MS advises it be set on the Hub Transport Server
2) No you can name the share anything. You will need need to set the Share name using the Cluster Command at the command prompt. It will look something like this.

Cluster /cluster:Clustername res Majority Node Set /priv MNSFileShare=\\Server\Sharename

Hope this helps.

Opps.. Quotes missing "Majority Node Set". The command will be

Cluster /cluster:Clustername res "Majority Node Set" /priv MNSFileShare=\\Server\Sharename

Pretty sure I know the answer to this but I will ask anyway. Can I shutdown or reboot the Hub server that has the Windows FIle Share Witness without disrupting the CCR? Just thinking of patch installs etc.
