How to Access the Properties of an Exchange Cluster Resource Using Cluster Administrator

  • Article

 

Like the configuration settings for your Exchange Virtual Servers, the default configuration settings for the Exchange resources (instances of Exchange services) that are associated with each server allow your cluster to work adequately. However, there may be specific settings that you want to adjust, based upon your Exchange environment. This procedure outlines how to access the properties of an Exchange cluster resource.

Before You Begin

Before you start managing your Exchange cluster, you may want to review what constitutes an Exchange Virtual Server and its associated Exchange resources. You may also want to become more familiar with Cluster Administrator—the primary tool used to configure and manage clusters.

Note

Before performing the cluster administration tasks outlined in this chapter, you must be familiar with the clustering concepts described in "Checklist: Preparation for installing a cluster" in the Microsoft Windows Server™ 2003 Enterprise Edition Online Help and in the Windows Server 2003 Technical Reference.

Also, make sure that you are familiar with "Using Server Clustering" in Planning an Exchange Server 2003 Messaging System and with "Deploying Exchange 2003 in a Cluster" in the Exchange Server 2003 Deployment Guide.
