Exchange 2007 SP1 SCR on Windows 2003

Hi

I am currently looking into utilising Exchange 2007 SP1 SCR to provide
recovery at our D.R site. We currently have 2 x two node Exchange 2007
SP1 clusters (MNS Quorum) running on Windows 2003 R2 with SP2.

I have enabled the appropriate storage groups for SCR and this has
replicated fine to the SCR server. Am I correct in saying if I
recover this using the "setup /recoveryCMS" this SCR Exchange server
will use a different IP address, does it use the same cluster name for
Outlook clients.

ie will Outlook or any Exchange application need to look to a
different virtual cluster server name.

Any advise would be appreciated.

Is the database portability option any better. Does Windows 2008 add
anything to this scenario.

Many Thanks

Nick Thompson

- You can use /RecoverCMS only if both the source and target are clustered.
The source can be SCC/CCR. The target can also be a single node cluster - it
should not have the CMS created.
- Running /RecoverCMS "creates" the CMS using the CMS name of the SCR
source.
- Yes, it will be a different IP address. The A record of the CMS is updated
to reflect that.

See if you can find out what the hardware actually is. If we have to reload
for test, I have ISOs and keys.
