SUMMARY
To add an additional SMTP, HTTP, IMAP4, or POP3 virtual server to an Exchange 2000 server that is running on a Microsoft Windows 2000-based cluster server, you need to add an additional IP address that is dynamically added to Domain Name System (DNS) so that the new IP address is available in a drop-down list in Exchange System Manager. This IP address needs to be created as a cluster resource so that the Cluster service can dynamically register this IP address with DNS.



MORE INFORMATION

 * 1) Start Cluster Administrator.
 * 2) Add a new IP resource in the   group.
 * 3) Take the Network Name Resource offline.
 * 4) Edit the properties of the Network Name Resource.
 * 5) Add a dependency to the new IP resource.
 * 6) Add a new Exchange virtual server disk resource to support the new databases. This resource must be on a supported, shared drive that is visible to both nodes.
 * 7) Bring the   group online.
 * 8) Quit Cluster Administrator.
 * 9) Start DNS Manager to make sure that the new IP address is listed with the Exchange network name.
 * 10) Quit DNS Manager.
 * 11) Start Exchange System Manager to add the SMTP, HTTP, IMAP4, or POP3 virtual server.
 * 12) Locate the Protocols container under the server that will run the new virtual server.
 * 13) Right-click the SMTP, HTTP, IMAP4, or POP3 container where you want to add a virtual server, point to New, and then click Virtual Server.
 * 14) Enter the name of the new SMTP, HTTP, IMAP4, or POP3 virtual server.
 * 15) In the drop-down box, click the IP address that you added in step 2.
 * 16) Before you bring the new virtual server online, you must add a cluster resource.
 * 17) In Cluster Administrator, add a new Microsoft Exchange   Service Resource, where   is the type of virtual server to be added.
 * 18) Add the Exchange information store instance as a dependency.
 * 19) Click the server instance; it should have the name of the new virtual server that you created in Exchange System Manager.
 * 20) Bring the new resource online.
