Evan,

You have a great weblog. I very much appreciate the information you provide, specifically the cluster-related material.

We just moved from an Exchange 2000 regional server deployment with Netapp backends to a consolidated Exchange 2003 3-node cluster with an EMC Clarrion backend and the information you published was quite useful and timely.

The Exchange 2003 SP1 upgrade notes were quite useful (just used them over the weekend). Keep up the good work!

A minor suggestion: when is someone going to put out a really good Exchange 2003-centric cluster book? Would have been nice to have a good book to nurse during the migration. I found a few Exchange 2000 books that dealt with clustering, but it was all kind of general. I got most of my best info from a cluster class here in the Bay Area and the white papers. Any chance MS is going to put one out?

thanks kindly,

Sasha -

Information on available Exchange 2003 MSPress books can be found at; http://www.microsoft.com/learning/books/net/servers/exchange2003/default.asp and there's likely a bit of clustering information sprinkled throughout these books.

Well-known Exchange MVP and author Scott Schnoll has also written "Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Distilled" (http://www.e2k3distilled.net) which has a chapter on Exchange 2003 clustering.

If you're willing to review electronically or print the material out yourself, there are also some free alternatives produced by the Exchange product group:
- Exchange 2003 High Availability Guide
- Exchange 2003 Planning Guide (has a high availability/clustering chapter)
- Exchange 2003 Deployment Guide (has a chapter on clustering)
- Exchange 2003 Administration Guide (has a chapter on clustering)

These are all available for free download at http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/library/

Thanks!
Evan

The story of the 3GB server switch

  As Evan already mentioned on his blog, Raymond Chen has a great series on /3GB switch on his blog. What is really cool is that Raymond takes on some myths about the /3GB switch and  the fact that he...
