Exchange Cluster and Failover

[richard.rolfe]

When you have failover in a Ex2000 cluster. Does the failover server Unity services such as AvMgr etc etc need to run under the primary server UNITY_servername acount or the one it created when you run the configuration tool?

For example:

Primary Server UNITY_servername1 account

Failover Server UNITY_servername2 account

The reason I ask this is that the AvMgr service is refusing to start on the failover server.

Run the AvCsMgr, AvCsGateway, AvUmrSyncSvr, AvGaen (and AvMsgStoreMonitor if this is 3.1.5) as the UNITY_servername1 account. I think the UNITY_servername2 that was initially created when the failover server was installed, has been deleted upon running the Failover wizard. The account created during the wizard is actually for the NodeManager service.
