Re: bring a downed node back into the cluster

I don't see why it would be a problem, but it wouldn't be difficult to
manually evict the node and then re-add it to the cluster.

Hi,
We have a two nodes active/passive win 2003 cluster with sql 2005 on it.
One
of node had problem with motherboard when you did the service pack upgrade
and it has been down for three weeks. Now we got motherboard replaced and
want to bring it on and put it into the cluster. I would like know if
there
is any issue with it since the node has been down so long.
I read somewhere in Internet says that if a node down too long, windows
cluster will automatically remove it from cluster, could someone from MS
or
someone who knows confirm it is not true. if it does is true, what we
should
do?
thanks,
DP
