687.0. "Programatically check if clusters installed/running?" by DECALP::KLAVINS (Ed Klavins, RTR Engineering) Fri Mar 14 1997 04:28

    I am writing a program to run on NT servers. The program should do
    different things depending on whether the server is configured in a
    cluster or not. Currently using V1.0 SP2 (and V1.1). My question:
    
    How can I determine when the program is started whether NT clusters is
    installed and active on the server? My ideas:
    
    o look at some registry entry to determine whether it is installed?
    
    o if it is installed, should the program then look for a particular
    service?
    
    Any suggestions ?
    
    Thanks, ed

	I would check to see if the cluster failover manager service is running. Just because you find entries in the registry does not mean that the services are running. tgc
