how to cluster/missor 2 windows 2003 servers ?
Posted by Mac on November 16th, 2005



I have one server with windows 2003 server premier edition, 3 drives with
raid 5. I also have exchage installed on it too.

I just bought another server with raid 5. There is no operating system on
it yet.

I want to configure new server in such a way that it keeps the same
copy/mirror of my main server and whenever my main server crash, new server
should take over.

I am trying to avoid down time in case my server crash.

I would really appreciate if someone please suggest me the best option.

I am new to windows 2003 so please give me some good instructions.

Thanks

Keep in mind license requirements, such as a second Exchange license.
Also, Exchnage isn't the easiest to cluster. Might look at third
party products such as Vinca.
