XADM: Exchange Standard Edition should not be Installed on Cluster Aware System (174042)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q174042 SYMPTOMS
The Microsoft Exchange Server Standard Edition Setup program will allow you
to point to a shared cluster drive on a Windows NT Enterprise Server running
Microsoft Cluster Services. It will only install on the local node, but if
the Server fails over, the information will be pulled to the other node and
the Exchange Server installation will be destroyed.
CAUSE
The Microsoft Exchange Server Standard Edition is not a cluster aware
application but the Server setup portion does not have the ability to prevent
you from installing the software on the shared cluster drive.
Microsoft will not support any installation of the Exchange Server Standard
Edition on a cluster aware system.
RESOLUTION
The Enterprise Edition of Exchange Server must be installed on the cluster
aware system to take advantage of the Microsoft Cluster Services and prevent
possible data corruption.
