SUMMARY
If a Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server or Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 computer is clustered, you cannot install Exchange 2000 Server or Exchange Server 2003 with the /disasterrecovery switch on an Exchange 2000 Server or Exchange Server 2003 virtual server Active Directory directory service object. In Exchange 2000 Server, the installation may appear to complete successfully, but the results are unpredictable. In Exchange Server 2003, you may receive the following error message:

The component &quot;Microsoft Exchange&quot; cannot be assigned the action &quot;Disaster Recovery&quot; because: - Microsoft Exchange setup does not support the use of the DisasterRecovery action when running on cluster nodes. See the Microsoft Exchange Disaster Recovery white paper at http://www.microsoft.com/exchange for the proper methodology to use for recovering a Microsoft Exchange cluster.
