How to bring up remote Exchange cluster by VBScript/WMI scripts

#1 06-17-2008, 10:39 AM

Hi there
Looking for some pointers, examples or code snippets on how to bring
up a remote Exchange 2003 cluster at a DR site by automation with
VBScript/WMI scripts. In particular, our main concern is to deal with
the scripting of these remote tasks, among others.
1. Recognise the replicated disks and set up disk resources for the
cluster.
2. Configure IP addresses and set up network resources for the
cluster.
3. Set up system attendant resources for the cluster.
4. Set up mail service resources for the cluster.

Anyone?

Cheers
Sunny

This is not going to be possible in Exchange 2003. A part of the Standby
Cluster creation process is the creation of the Exchange Virtual Server.
The logic for creation of the Virtual Server in an Exchange 2003 cluster is
built into the GUI. In cluster admin you right click the SA and create the
virtual server. There's no way around it 2003.
