Windows Server Forum / Exchange Server / Clustering / July 2008restoring from cluster to standalone
Hi, My company has two exchange 2003 clusters. One cluster hosts the users mailbox and one host the public folders. I have to move them to standalone exchange without the clusters (i.e. two server without cluster and one for mailbox and one for public folder). I can't find the procedures to do this. Could someone help, please? Thanks very much, Aldous Aldous, In my point of view, the best option is make a two steps migration... Step 1 - Move all mailbox's from mailbox server to public folder server Step 2 - Remove the mailbox cluster and reinstall the servers as standalone servers and move the mailbox's back to brand new mailbox server and public folders to brand new public folders server I don't know if this is the best approach for you environment, but you can improve this with your knowledge.

I just found out that I can build a single node standby cluster and it will fit my need. In fact, I just posted to the this group and hoping to get some confirmation about my procedures because I need to complete this in two three days and I can't built anything to test and I'm not able to find details instruction from MS or Google. Thanks again, Aldous > Aldous, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > I don't know if this is the best approach for you environment, but you > can improve this with your knowledge. 1. Mailboxes: Evict a node, set it up as a stand alone, and movemailbox. 2. Public folders: Evict a node, set it up as a stand alone, then replicate the public folders. 3. Decommission the remaining cluster nodes. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Thanks very much, > Aldous Hi John, Thanks for your help. Finally, I moved to a single node cluster instead of standalone. It's much easier. Aldous > 1. Mailboxes: Evict a node, set it up as a stand alone, and movemailbox. > 2.
