I don't have any good data that I can pass along, so you'll have to test out your Internet searching skills. :o)Sean Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05628006595925427776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453126.post-12457585699357611632007-02-26T17:28:00.000-08:002007-02-26T17:28:00.000-08:00Gday mate, how do you run 2 exchange servers in SB...Gday mate, how do you run 2 exchange servers in SBS 2003? the link you posted is a link to normal clustering, are you suggesting that we build an exchange cluster based on the SBS version? Sounds like an overly complex work around (is it a supported MS configuration for support purposes?) to what is supposed to be a cost effective small business solution.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453126.post-52562947226532606922007-02-14T19:44:00.000-08:002007-02-14T19:44:00.000-08:00A quick search on Microsoft tech net resulted in t...A quick search on Microsoft tech net resulted in this link:<BR/><A HREF="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9f5b91cd-d7c2-409d-81a0-033a23e1faee.aspx" REL="nofollow">http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9f5b91cd-d7c2-409d-81a0-033a23e1faee.aspx</A>Sean Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05628006595925427776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453126.post-40423113492722656902007-02-14T00:52:00.000-08:002007-02-14T00:52:00.000-08:00I have an Action Pack subscription so pricing isnt...I have an Action Pack subscription so pricing isnt an issue as I have the licences need.

Called MS support back and the next person said it wasn't supported.<br /><br />I've since created a second URL to go directly to webmail, but it's still clunky and not what I wanted for my customer.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09446377707493731498noreply@blogger.com
