Hi, I have a 2 node active-passive cluster (Windows 2003 SP2 and Exchange 2003 SP2). The system attendant does not start on the passive node when I initiate a failover. I see the following in the app and cluster logs. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks Event Type: Error Event Source: MSExchangeCluster Event Category: Services Event ID: 1010 Description: Exchange System Attendant - CHN-EXMBXPR01: Failed to start the service 'MSExchangeSA'.

Thanks. I had reviewed this information and did not find it relevant to the issue. The SA is running fine on the current active node so, I do not think it is a AD or GC related issue. It seems to be some corruption in the 2nd node.

The SA depends on the disk resources used by exchange. Make sure the 2nd node is a possible owner of those resources.
