| You are an exchange server administrator for your company. Circular logging is disabled. Disk that hold the log files on your Exchange Server computer is about to run out of space. You add and format a new drive array. You want to move the log files to the new drive arry without reducing recoverability. What should you do?
A. Use Windows NT Explorer to move the log files to the new location.
B. Stop Exchange Server services. Change the appropriate registry keys to reflect the new location. Restart Exchange.
C. Stop Exchange Server services. Copy the log files to the new drive array and delete the old files. Restart Exchange.
D. Use Exchange Performance Optimizer to designate new location.
2. You are configuring an Exchange Server cluster....Standard disaster recovery procedures...How configure the cluster?
3. Exchange Server log files are located on mirrored partitions. Exchange Server IS is locatd on disk striping without parity. One disk in striping fails. How restore functionality?
A. Config network name resource with same name as Exchange Server computer.
B. Config network name resource with same name as Exchange server site.
C. Config primary node in cluster with same name as original Exchange Server computer.
D. COnfig secondary node in cluster with same name as original Exchange Server computer.

| Aha found something that vaugly answers bits of these q's:
How to Move Exchange Server to a New Computer with the Same Name http://support.microsoft.com/suppor...s/q155/2/16.asp
Recommendations for Successful Disaster Recovery http://support.microsoft.com/suppor...s/q185/0/78.asp
Bingo:
Clustering with Exchange Server Using Disaster Recovery
If you are limited by the amount of hardware resources that are available, you can perform a variation of the standard disaster recovery procedure to add an existing Microsoft Exchange Server to a cluster. For example, if you don't have an extra server and you plan to use the computer that is currently running Microsoft Exchange Server as a node, you can remove Microsoft Exchange Server from the computer and reinstall it in the cluster. This option requires no additional hardware other than the two servers to be clustered.
For more information about disaster recovery, see Microsoft Exchange Server Maintenance and Troubleshooting or the troubleshooting resources available on the Web at http://www.microsoft.com/exchange.
Note Make sure you log on using the same Windows NT account that you used to back up the Microsoft Exchange Server computer. If the account you are using is not the same as the Windows NT service account used for the Microsoft Exchange services, ensure that the account has administrator permissions. This will allow your current account to start and stop Microsoft Exchange services when necessary.
Log on to the Microsoft Exchange Server computer as an administrator.
As a precaution, use Windows NT Backup to back up the information store and directory.
Run Microsoft Exchange Server Setup, and upgrade to Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5.
Back up the information store and directory using Windows NT Backup. You will use this backup after you have created your new cluster.
Shut down the server.
Perform a clean installation of Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition on both servers that you intend to cluster.
Install Microsoft Cluster Server. For information about installing Microsoft Cluster Server, see your Microsoft Cluster Server documentation. Make sure you use the same Windows NT service account for both the Cluster services and the Microsoft Exchange Server services.
Configure Microsoft Cluster Server for Microsoft Exchange Server as described in "New Microsoft Exchange Server Computer Installation" earlier in this document.
Note The network name resource must be the same as the computer name of the old Microsoft Exchange Server computer.
Run Microsoft Exchange Server Setup on the primary node using the /r option. From the Start menu, choose Programs, and then choose Command Prompt. Change directories to the installation directory of the Microsoft Exchange Server compact disc and type setup.exe /r. For example, if the installation compact disc is located in the E:\ drive, you would type E:\Server\Setup\I386\setup.exe /r.
Note All of the resources in your newly created cluster resource group, including the physical disk resource, the network name resource, and the IP address resource, must be brought online before you run Microsoft Exchange Server Setup. To bring a resource online, select the resource and, from the File menu, choose Bring Online.
The Microsoft Exchange Server computer should use the same configuration as the old Microsoft Exchange Server computer. For example, you should use the same service account, install the same components, and specify the same organization and site names.
Note If the server you are removing was originally the first server in the site, verify that the system folders (Eforms Registry and Schedule+ Free & Busy folders) are replicated to other servers in the site. If these folders are not replicated, problems can occur. For more information, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q152959 "How to Remove the First Exchange Server in a Site" at the Microsoft Technical Support Web site (http://www.microsoft.com/support).
Select the Microsoft Exchange Server resource group you created when you configured Microsoft Cluster Server. Setup copies files to the primary node's Windows NT System32 directory, copies files to the clustered drive, and creates resources in the resource group.
When Setup is completed, run Performance Optimizer.
In the Cluster Administrator program, bring the Microsoft Exchange Server system attendant resource online. Select the resource and, from the File menu, choose Bring Online.
Start Windows NT Backup and restore the information store and directory to the active node. Select the Do not start services after restore option.
Once you have restored the directory and information store, in the Cluster Administrator program, bring the Microsoft Exchange directory service resource online. Select Microsoft Exchange Directory and, from the File menu, choose Bring Online.
In the Cluster Administrator program, select the Microsoft Exchange Server information store resource, choose Properties, and then select the Registry Replication tab.
Choose Remove to remove the old registry checkpoint.
Choose Add, and then type the following registry path to create a new registry checkpoint: SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servi
ces\MSExchangeIS
Choose OK twice.
Bring the Microsoft Exchange Server information store resource online. Select the Microsoft Exchange information store resource and, from the File menu, choose Bring Online. This operation can take some time to complete, depending on how large your databases are.
Note The Cluster service normally allows 600 seconds (10 minutes) for the Microsoft Exchange Server information store service to start. When using Setup with the /r option to recover an information store running under the Cluster service, startup can take longer than 600 seconds. If this happens, the Cluster Administrator program indicates that the information store service failed to start. In fact, the startup of the information store service can still be waiting for the recovery process to be completed. In this case, you should disregard the status indicator and allow the recovery process to complete without stopping the information store service.
Once the information store has successfully started, select the name of the resource group. From the File menu, choose Bring Online.
Run Microsoft Exchange Server Setup on the inactive node, and then select Update Node.

| So, the answer to my second question;You are configuring an Exchange Server cluster....Standard disaster recovery procedures...How configure the cluster? The Microsoft Exchange Server computer should use the same configuration as the old Microsoft Exchange Server computer. Is that what the article is trying to say? |
