Exchange Cluster issue
Posted on 2011-02-28
Me an adaministrator install Exchange Server 2003
on the cluster in an active/passive
configuration. When I test the installation,
I discover that Exchange is not running on the
cluster. Exchange services are set to mannual
startup and are not running on either node
I need to ensure that Exchange is running on
the cluster?
I have been told by my Manager to do either of the suitable things:-
a. Configure all Exchange services to start
automatically on the active node. Reboot the
active node
b. Configure all Exchange services to start
automatically on both nodes. Reboot both nodes
c. Create a new cluster resource group for the
Exchange server and create a System Attendent
resource
d. In Exchange Server 2003, run the setup
/disasterrecovery command to reinstall Exchange
Server 2003 on the active node
I think d. it will set the services without failover
on the cluster in an active/passive
configuration. When I test the installation,
I discover that Exchange is not running on the
cluster. Exchange services are set to mannual
startup and are not running on either node

Please checked for the patches installed on both the nodes. In cluster the Exchange store.exe version should be matched with each other.
