Hi,

I have a 2 node active-passive cluster (Windows 2003 SP2 and Exchange 2003
SP2). The system attendant does not start on the passive node when I initiate
a failover.

I see the following in the app and cluster logs.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks. I had reviewed this information and did not find it relevant to the
issue. The SA is running fine on the current active node so, I do not think
it is a AD or GC related issue. It seems to be some corruption in the 2nd
node.

The SA depends on the disk resources used by exchange. Make sure the 2nd
node is a possible owner of those resources.

Hi !

The exchange clustering - unable to failover systemattendant error is occurred when the clusters of exchange server are being corrupted. few months ago i have faced such type of issues with my exchange server. That time i was very frustrated. i just go for solution for this issue over Google. i found there Kernel software that works really good and very powerful. you can also find it at:: www.exchangerepairtool.com
