Re: DO NOT INSTALL Windows 2003 SP1 on MSCS!!!

I have to agree with the others, we have a six node exchange cluster on 2003
sp1 that works beautifully. The post speaks of angst against microsoft
clusters posed by an orginization that is a direct competitor to MS who have
their own clustering technology.
Any one sided article should be taken with a grain of salt and researched
for further evidence.
If sp1 caused cluster across the board of any hardware, it would have been
found already.
