Exchange 2007 Clustering Hurdle

Exchange 2007 Clustering Hurdle

All,

I'm working on building a 3 node SCC Cluster (AAP) and having a bit of a 
hard time getting the active node to install properly.  I've followed all 
the best practices in setting the cluster nodes up, setting up the Quorum 
and shared drives (without Write caching), followed the 15 character limit 
for cluster names, network adapter config, etc.   For some reason now when I 
try installing the Active Node, I get the error messages below.

I also tried installing all three nodes as passives and following this 
article on Rodney's Blog 
http://msmvps.com/blogs/clustering/archive/2007/08/21/a-few-tips-for-exchange-server-2007-scc-amp-ccr-clustered-installations.aspx 
to install the active node using EXSETUP, but I'm still getting this error 
message "[11/26/2007 4:26:20 PM] [1] 0.  ErrorRecord: The operation could 
not be performed because object 'USMAIL2K7' could not be found on domain 
controller 'usad1.us.Micros.int'.
[11/26/2007 4:26:20 PM] [1] 0.  ErrorRecord: 
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.ManagementObjectNotFoundException: 
The operation could not be performed because object 'USMAIL2K7' could not be 
found on domain controller 'usad1.us.Micros.int'."

I've tried just creating the computer object USMAIL2K7 in the correct domain 
but still I get the same message.

Any ideas?   The full error message is below.  If you need the 
ExchangeSetup.log, let me know.

Thanks,

Scott

Re: Exchange 2007 Clustering Hurdle

Hi,

This might be a DNS issue, so you might want to run Netdiag and make sure 
everything checks out.  Also, you might have a look at the product 
documentation instructions for installing SCC at 
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124899.aspx.

Hope this helps.
