Hi all,

I have to install an Exchange 2003 active/passive 2-node cluster soon, but because of hardware logistics, I can only install one node at a time.

So my question is, will using the method below work?

1) Install Windows and configure a one-node cluster with all necesary storage

2) Install Exchange on that node, configure cluster groups, and configure the Exchange System Attendant with HTTP Virtual server name

3) Migrate mailbox data from existing Exchange to the new one-node cluster

4) Scratch the original server, and join it to the cluster as second node

I don't if this will work, so if you have any suggestions, ideas or comments, I'd be really glad to know.

Kind regards :-)
