This is a simple question but I'm new to Exchange 2003 clustering. We have 2-node Exc 2003 Ent cluster here at my new job. I need to apply the Daylight Savings patches this weekend and making sure I've got the process down. What I noticed in Cluster Admin is that I have online groups/resources in each cluster. So I have excluster1 and excluster2. If I check Active Groups for each one, they both have both and both are online. Same deal with Active Resources. So does this mean I have an Active/Active setup? Thanks for any info
Sure sounds that way, check if you see two different System Attendants in different groups. If you do, you are A/A. Cheers, Rodney R.

If I look in Active Resources for Excluster1 and Excluster2 I see2 SA's. Looks to be A/A huh? Thanks-
Correct A/A it is. How many mailboxes per EVS? Cheers, Rodney R.
