    Hi
    despite warnings not to start another Cluster note (607.1)
    I do as my previous note (in 689) remained unanswered. So here I go again:
     
    okay we are in a situation where the customer has non-cluster-aware
    Exchange installed on his cluster BDC node.
    After restart the services do not start automatically - they have
    to be started manually.
    What has to be done to make automatic start permanent?
    regards
    Artur

    	Well, would it have been possible to use the handy yet seldom-used
    	REPLY command instead of the ever-popular WRITE COMMAND?

| I have not tested this with Exchange but I think what you are seeing is the disks are not online when Exchange tries to start the services. You should create a script that starts the services and put that in the failover group that the exchange database and files live on. Set your services to Manual. For example NET START <Servicename> Thanks, Steve P.S. This by no means addresses the real issue of being able to fail over Exchange on a Cluster. MS says 24x7 availibilty on their WEB page. Meaning you don't have to stop the Exchange server to do backups. This thinking and marketing hype concerns me and I wonder if they understand what 24X7 really means. | |||||
