Windows 2008 cluster & CCR
Hello
Just a quick question:
Are there any major problems with creating a Windows 2008 enterprise cluster then installing 2007 ent and creating a ccr cluster for exchange or is this bad practice, should I have a 4 server solutionrather than 2 ?
Thanks for any help / advice

Per my knowledge, they are a great combination: Windows Server 2008 + Exchange Server 2007 SP1, itll provide a number of benefits to an enterprise. I think that you would get the idea from the article below; it also lists the Exchange-related incompatibility with Windows Server 2008:

As for 4 server solution than 2, do you mean SCC about 4 server solution? Heres an article that describe the advantages of CCR over SCC:

Notes: SCC will consume less disk space, but it just has one copy of data. If Disk-Array got malfunction, the Service will be offline
