Document the port rules on the source cluster by completing the following steps:

  1. View the port rules in Network Load Balancing Manager or by running Nlb.exe at a command prompt.

    To view port rules in Network Load Balancing Manager:

    1. Start Network Load Balancing Manager.

    2. On the Host menu, click Properties.

    3. On the Port Rules tab, view the port rules in the Defined port rules box.

    To view port rules by running Nlb.exe, in the command prompt, type Nlb display cluster_IP_address (where cluster_IP_address is the cluster IP address of the source cluster), and then press Enter.

    For more information about viewing port rules in Network Load Balancing Manager or by using Nlb.exe, see "Create and Manage Network Load Balancing Clusters" in Help and Support Center for Windows Server 2003.

  2. Record the port rules on the job aid "NLB Cluster Host Worksheet" (Sdcnlb_1.doc) on the Windows Server 2003 Deployment Kit companion CD (or see "NLB Cluster Host Worksheet" on the Web at https://www.microsoft.com/reskit).
