We have a Exchange 2007 CCR.  How to:

1. failover and failback between nodes?  I think I need to use PS but not 
much about it.  I also heard that SP1 provides a GUI for failover and back 
between nodes.  Is that true?  Is it ony for SCC or also for CCR?

2. If I need to shut down both nodes how to do it? Any sequence or PS 
commands?

Thanks.

Either with the GUI (in SP1) or Powershell with the
Move-ClusteredMailboxServer command

You would shut them down normally as with any server if you are
shutting both down.
However, the whole idea with CCR is that you dont have to when doing
maintenance.

Thanks Andy.  It's due to building power maintenance.  To shut down both 
nodes I was told to use some command so it won't failover.  In Exchange 2003 
I usually shut down the passive node first, suspend the active node and shut 
it down.  Just wondering if it's the same thing in CCR with some PS commands.

You could stop the cluster with:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997179.aspx
Stop-ClusteredMailboxServer

Be sure to restart it once its back online

Start-ClusteredMailboxServer

See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997676(EXCHG.80).aspx for 
documentation on your shutdown question.

Failover/failback are automatic behaviors that are performed by the Cluster 
service.  This is also referred to as an unscheduled outage.  A scheduled 
outage, which is what you want to do, is also referred to as a Move or a 
Handoff.  See 
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998282(EXCHG.80).aspx for that 
procedure (using SP1 GUI or command line).

Hope this helps.

Scott,
  Actually in my case I don't need to move because I need to shut down both 
nodes anyway.  Just need to verify the proper way or sequence.  For Example, 
should I shut down the passive node first?  If so, anything special I need to 
do to shut down the active node properly so it won't get any problem to start 
up again, especially for cluster function?

Thanks.

Yes, see the first topic I cited 
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997676(EXCHG.80).aspx) for 
details on shutting down all the nodes in the cluster.

Hope this helps.

sorry, it was a long article.  Just finished.  One more question.  Since you 
can move cluster using GUI with SP1 can you do Stop-clustermailboxserver from 
the GUI?

Thank you both.  Another question.  How can I identify how the Exchange 
servers configured in an existing environment if there is no clear 
documentation.  For example, some servers are configured as standalone, SCC 
or CCR.  And they could also set with LCR to some standalone server or SCR 
for SCC or CCR.  And details for each configuration setttings.  How to get 
those information?

Thanks again in advance.

You can use ExBPA to collect some config info, including details that will 
tell you which servers are standalones and which are clusters.  You can also 
use Get-MailboxServer and Get-StorageGroup to get info on those objects.  In 
SP1, we also include a script call GetSCRSources that you can use to get 
some SCR info, as well.

Hope this helps.
