SUMMARY
If you download a recent recommended fix that is in the SMS Installer format from Microsoft, there are special considerations that you need to be aware of when you apply the fix to a computer that is running Microsoft Cluster Server.



MORE INFORMATION
An example of a recent recommended fix that is in the SMS Installer format is the Q248838engi.exe fix that is described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

248838 XADM: Exchange Server 5.5 Post-SP3 Information Store Fixes Available

You must perform the following steps to apply a fix to a cluster server because SMS Installer fixes are not cluster aware:
 * 1) Use Cluster Administrator to manually stop the Exchange Group on the active node.
 * 2) Apply the SMS Installer format fix on the owning node.
 * 3) Move the Exchange Group to the other node.
 * 4) Apply the SMS Installer format fix on the owning node.
 * 5) Move the Exchange Group to the node that you want to run the Exchange Group on.
 * 6) Start the Exchange Group in Cluster Administrator.
