In the Windows IT Pro article "Build an Exchange 2003 Cluster—Part 1: Plan and Prepare," July 2005, http://www.windowsitpro.com, InstantDoc ID 46621, I explain the tasks you must perform before you actually install Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) on a Windows Server 2003 SP1 cluster. Assuming you've made these preparations, you're ready to install Exchange 2003 on a cluster server. Although installing Exchange on a cluster is straightforward, it involves a few more steps than installing Exchange on a standalone server. To recap, the cluster we built in Part 1 is a two-node, active/passive cluster. Let's get started with the installation.

Before You Install
Before building your new Exchange 2003 cluster, check that you've met all the requirements for deploying Exchange 2003. Read the guidelines at http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/evaluation/sysreqs/2003.mspx, and make sure that you've completed all the steps described in the Windows IT Pro article I mentioned earlier. . . .
