This is DNS issue, check your dns configuration and ensure your cluster NIC is not pointing to any external DNS.Arun Kumar | MCSE - 2K3 + Messaging | ITIL-F V3

In order to determine the problem, please check the info as follow: 1. Does the issue occur when attempting to perform the failover? Please increase the logging level for cluster components below and reproduce the issue, see if we can get more related info MSExchange Cluster\Move MSExchange Cluster\Action 2. Please check the status of CMS 3. Please run ExBPA for a health check, which may tell us more about the root cause Resources: How to View the Status of a Clustered Mailbox Server in a Single Copy Cluster How to Change Logging Levels for Exchange Processes

Thanks for the update!! Nope. The Cluster NIC is not pointing to an External DNS Address. No. This issue doesn't occur when we are doing the Fail over.. that makes me wonder why it got created in a sudden.I Just checked the status immediately after some time.. it looks to be good.Any other thing do you want me to check??Exchange 2007

Well, if theres no error during the failover, no error in the ExBPA, no error in the diagnostic logging, and no error in the output of the status of the CMS I assume that is a transient issue, you may monitor a few days. And please post at here if you get any new symptom or event Thanks!

Hello Arun,I tried to Fail-Over the Cluster to the Passive Node and it got moved with few issues. The Database store Instances was not brought online automatically. I manually brought it back to online thru the cluadmin.When i was failing over it back to the original node it was sucessfull..Exchange 2007
