    HI All,

     

    Can anyone tell me whether OCS 2007 front-end can be setup in the windows 2003 Cluster environment?

    Or is OCS 2007 is a cluster aware application.

     

     

    Thanks in advance for the answer.

    I don't think this is a supported MS Cluster app. 

    If you want HA, you need a load balancer and at least 2 servers.

    I'd second that; OCS works on a Pool/Farm basis for increased capacitty of availability, Clustering is not an option.

     

    There are some very good value Load Balancers available; the most import things to watch for are Source NAT and Appropriate throughput; which could be quite high for any enterprise setup requiring More than one server for capacity.

     

    If Your goal is resilience, look into increasing hardware resilience or using a redundant server chassis.
