842.0. "Update on NT Cluster support?" by HGOVC::CECILIACHENG () Tue Jan 28 1997 12:07

    
    Is there  any progress on Exchange enjoying NT clustering features?
    Has Microsoft made any commitment in this area?
    
    
    Thanks & Rgds,

842.1My customer wants to know...CHOWDA::GLICKMANwriting from Newport,RITue Jan 28 1997 22:441
    My customer is interested in this too!
842.2What are other sites doing??CHOWDA::GLICKMANwriting from Newport,RIWed Jan 29 1997 06:4610
    My customer would also like to know what other sites are doing in
    regards to fault tolerance without clustering (as we know it on OpenVMS
    and VAXes).  He is concerned about putting up his corporate mail
    without the redunancy.  Right now the site is using TeamLinks in a
    VAXcluster scenario.
    
    Can anyone comment?
    
    Thanks!
    
842.3There doesn't seem to be a rush...!FLASK2::16.39.192.207::MCMICHAELA Cunning Plan...Wed Jan 29 1997 12:248
The last I heard from Microsoft was that there would be no support in 5.0 
(released any day now) or 5.1 (around March).  It's most likely that 
cluster failover will be provided by Exchange 6.0 which will ship a few 
months after NT 5.0.  That was very vaguely scheduled for this August!

Last i heard (gee I wish we had better lines of communication) the cluster 
problem would be fixed in a service pack to V5.0 in the spring.

    It makes you wonder what we'd know if we weren't "partners" doesn't it?
