Windows 2003 Cluster + MS SQL 2005 Cluster

[Artak Gabrielyan]

Hi all,

I have i little issue hopefully to find the answer here ....

I'm going to set up windows server 2003 cluster, then i'll set up MS
SQL 2005 cluster. there will be around 20 db and the total size of DBs
is 60 Gb. There will be 2 Node.
My question is the followings:

1. Can i install domain controllers on the both nodes? Did anybody
have such kind of experience?

2. How to organize file sharing on the servers? i.e. there is files
should be high available.

thx in advance

hey artak before you set up the windows cluster, you need to join a domain controller. you need atleast 3 windows machines or virtual machines , in that 1 is ur domain controller and the other will be ur nodes to join dc, and then perfom windows cluster
