I'd take a look at these steps. Are you doing CCR or SCC? http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Installing-Configuring-Testing-Exchange-2007-Cluster-Continuous-Replication-Based-Mailbox-Server-Part1.htmlMark Morowczynski|MCT| MCSE 2003:Messaging, Security|MCITP:EMA 2K7,EDA Win 7,ES,SA,EA|MCTS:Windows Mobile Admin|Security+|http://almostdailytech.com

Hello, Thanks for the reply I'm doing CCR Best Regards Romain

Hello, additionnal information that i receved : "the value « MNSFileShare » is not set" Please help Best Regards Romain

Hello, Thaks for the reply, but the link you given not display well, have you another link for me ? Best Regards Romain

Yes, I will read it Thank you Romain

when i type this "Cluster res "Majority Node Set" /priv MNSFileShare= " i receve this response : "the cluster resource could not be found" any idea ? Best Regards Romain

Hi I have updated the information, please have another look now.

thank you you are very quick :) when i type this command line i receve this error : "5007 (0x0000138f)" the cluster resource could not be fould" I think that my cluster is well configured, but it seems not, and i do not get any error message during cluster creation. For the moment i'm working with one node, once this issue will be resolved, i will prepare the second node. an idea Best Regards Romain

Your cluster is more than likely fine, the issue with be the share permissions of the shared folder that you are using, can you browse to the share using the account that you are configuring the cluster with?

i had first created the share on local c: drive, and i receve the same error message. Second i had created the share on the quorum disk, and i receve the same error with the command line : Cluster exchange res "Majority Node Set" /priv MNSFileShare=\\exch-2k7-node1\MNS_FSW_DIR my command line is correct or not ? on what disk do i have to create the share ? Thank you Best Regards Romain

additionnal informations, i am quite new with cluster technology. I knew the principe of cluster since NT4 version, but not really worked with it since one month with cluster 2003 It is the first time that i work with Exchange 2007 on cluster CCR with wmware workstation. So if i write some mistake, you can correct me. Best Regards Romain

the MNS share is now fine. Now i receve another error : "The specified clustered mailbox server name already exists. It is not suitable for re-use because it is not a clustered mailbox server or it is not hosted on the local node. Please verify the clustered mailbox server name, and retry the operation." here is what i've done : In parallel i had worked with cluster 2008, may be there is some confusion, so i clean AD, and dns any idea ? Best Regards Romain

hi ,regarding what u have said , its better for u to destroy the cluster between the 2 nodes & create it from the begining & configure it with majority node set ( shared file ).after that install the Active MBX on the active node then the passive node.here below referance link for step by step how to make that http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/exchange-server-2007/high-availability-recovery/deploying-exchange-2007-sp1-ccr-cluster-windows-server-2008-failover-cluster-part1.html

hi ,first uninstall in mailbox role u installed.destory the cluster.use: cluster node <node name> /forcecleanupmake sure the computer account is deleted from the active directory.remove its record from the DNS.run the best practice analyzer to make sure that this database is completly removed.when u finish all that reinstall new windows with new windows cluster ( majority node set ) then install mbx ccr rolesusing the following link http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/exchange-server-2007/high-availability-recovery/deploying-exchange-2007-sp1-ccr-cluster-windows-server-2008-failover-cluster-part1.html
