File Server Management and Clustering

[Patrick Vincent]

I just "upgraded" my Windows 2003 SP1 2-Node cluster to Windows 2003 R2 and
installed File Server Management components on both nodes. I use this cluster
for file serving primarily. If I setup some file screens on my file shares
on one node, will they carry over to the 2nd node if it were to failover? Is
there a recommended using the new components of R2 on a cluster? I couldn't
find anything on the main MS clustering site.

Thanks,

Patrick

So I'm good to go then since I've installed the components on both nodes.
Thanks for your response Rodney.
