Hi Jedi's,

Can anyone advise on the recommended MS best practise for upgrading the
physical RAM in my two node A/P 2003 Exchange cluster?  I'm presuming I just
take my passive node offline first - maybe stop the cluster services in
cluster administrator first - install the new RAM in there and bring back
online, then start the cluster service and failover to my other node (now
with increased RAM), and do the same here?

Many Thanks,
Orb.

That should work - when it reboots cluster service should start
automatically.
