Answer
PROBLEM
Internet Information Services Web sites that are hosted on the cluster do not start automatically when an Exchange Server 2003 virtual server fails over to a cluster node.
Due to the above, the GFI MailEssentials configuration could become unavailable following a failover or moving of an Exchange Virtual Server from one node of the cluster to the other.
ENVIRONMENT
- GFI MailEssentials
- Microsoft Exchange 2003
SOLUTION
To resolve the issue, installing Service Pack 2 for Exchange Server 2003 is required.
CAUSE
An issue exists on cluster installations of Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 if Service Pack 2 is not installed. More information about this can be found in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 885440.
