Hi Jim,

Are you sure that holds true on a clustered Exchange 2000 server? I recall
from my Microsoft 2000 server clustering class at Quickstart Intelligence
back in 2001,
http://www.quickstart.com/courses/course.asp?cat=Windows&type=88&course=2087
that the instructor stated that both Exchange 2000 and SQL 2000 clustered
was dependent on NETBIOS. Was this changed in a later service pack? Why
would Microsoft create this article dated:Article ID : 837391

-------------------------------------------------------Neither one had
this dependency.

Exch 2000 runs only on Win2K and Win2K3.
Both of these OS prefer DNS to WINS for name resolution and if your
network structure provides good DNS services, WINS is a non-issue for
Exchange 2K+.

-------------------------------------------------------Hi Jim,

Looks like your post never made it to the Active Dir list. If I recall
Exchange 2000 clustered still had dependencies on Wins, and I was told
at a
Microsoft Technet event that Exchange 2003 clustered no longer had this
requirement, until I saw the Microsoft article that I pointed out
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;837391 .

getting

changed.
I'm putting in the technical update today.

It's wrong
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Wrgonggitty-wrong-wrong Wrong!

WINS is *NOT* required for Exch functionality, but proper name
resolution support in the network *IS* required. If you've built your
network, name services & clients properly, using a "simple" name gets
you the same response as using FQDN in a "ping" command.

-------------------------------------------------------Hi Mike,

Looks like you are going to also have dependencies on Wins and with

the

MSDTC:

Exchange Server 2003 and Exchange 2000 Server require NetBIOS name
resolution for full functionality

Hi Mike,

I've only had to change a SQL 2000 Active / Active Cluster IP and it
involves some additional steps for SQL Virtual Names. It's been over 5
years
since I built an Exchange 2000 cluster, but I do not recall if

Exchange

has
any dependencies (I would probably post this to the Exchange list and

I

am
cc'ing them as well)

Take a look at :
Exchange Server 2003 Cluster Configuration Checklist
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/itsolutions/msit/operations/exchcluster

cklist.mspx?pf=true

Changing the IP address of network adapters in cluster server
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/230356/EN-US/

Or in PDF format at:
http://www.maned.com/support/knowledge_base/Roundhouse/Recommended_Readi

ng/Q230356.pdf

Also just in case you ever have to change it on a SQL:

How to change the network IP addresses of SQL Server virtual servers
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/244980/en-us

Hope this helps,

Sincerely,

Subject: [ActiveDir] Change private IP on a cluster
Hey,
I have an Exchange 2003 active/passive cluster on Windows 2003 and I
need
to change the private ip on both nodes. I realize that while I'm
changing the IP the nodes will not talk to each other and likely kick
the passive node off or stop the cluster service for a few minutes on
the passive node.

Is there anything else I will need to do or look out for? I don't
*think* this is a big deal but since it's a production cluster, and

I've

never had to do this, I thought I would check before I tried it.

Thanks again.

Mike.
