Hi Sabo,

Thanks for your posting back.

As your servers are clustering, you can synchronize the two metabases
between the nodes using the following script:

%systemroot%\system32\iiscnfg.vbs /copy /ts TargetComputer /tu TargetUser
/tp TargetPassword

NOTE: Because of the "possibility" of the two or more nodes to have a
different %SystemRoot% folder, you could copy these two files onto the
shared drive in a location of the FTP/WWW information. Also, please ensure
that the ability to execute VBS Scripts has not been disabled in a domain
policy; otherwise, they will not be able to run and may fail. Keep in mind
that some anti-virus utilities may keep this from executing as well.

Have a nice day!

Thanks & Regards
Alan Sun

     |Alan,
     | I think that one of my cluster nodes has corruption in the
metabase
     |file. I don't have a good backup, because I don't know when the
     |corruption happened. How does one troubleshoot this? Those
articles
     |pertain to if know you have a good backup.
     |
     | Please help.
