Hi All,

I'm hoping someone can point me to some documentation to resolve this problem I have. Basically I'm trying to create a lab of my production environment to test migrating from Exchange 2007 to 2013. I used Disk2VHD to get a VM of one of my DCs, the two nodes of my SCC Mailbox Servers, and my two CAS/HUB servers. I was able to get the DC and CAS/HUB servers working but haven't had much luck with the Mailbox servers. None of the cluster resources are available in the lab and the cluster service wont start. It looks like in order to break the cluster I need the cluster itself to be working to delete the resources and uninstall the servers. I was hoping someone knows of a resource that shows how to break the cluster when you can't bring the cluster up at all. Then I could establish a new cluster with a test database and test my migration procedure.

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

I am not fully understanding your environment. Do you virtualize your production environment to the test environment. The cluster settings were applied to the lab environment but there is no real cluster setup on the lab?

Is there any error event ID in the application log?

Thanks,
