new to Exchange 2007. How to tell which cluster (CCR, LCR, SCR or SCC) is
used among several mailbox servers?

Thanks.

Cluster storage type for SCC will be shared.

Also within Cluster Administrator there will be no shared disks for CCR,
where SCC will have them.

Thanks, Oliver. Back to my second question. Does Exchange save the
configuration somewhere in a central location/container so I don't have to
individually check each server to find out how it was configured, such as CCR
or SCC, or SCR, etc. It could take lots of time with a large and complex
environment. And it will be bad for DR too.

Thanks.

I'd say try starting with the ExchangeBPA, not sure if you'll get what
you're looking for, but it's probably the easiest way to get alot of
information about the servers.

The cmdlets in my earlier response should be able to give you all the
servers/storage groups, so you don't really need to use them multiple times
for different servers.

The info is stored in AD, but best accessed using the cmdlets.
