MSCS on TS server?

[Guest mst3in@gmail.com]

Anyone every tried to make a single-node MSCS cluster out of each TS

in the farm?

 

I hate services - I suck at writing them. Its a lot easier for me to

develop bots/tools for monitoring and whatnot if I make them desktop-

interactive and just run it with local admin rights.

 

At the moment, for said bots/tools, I log into a console session, and

start them. Its a problem if the box reboots do to updates or

scheduled restart and I'm sleeping so I can't log in to strt said

bots.

 

Now, MSCS has that generic application resource which I have found to

be rather awesome on our multi-node file and database clusters....it

can start my bot with or without a console session logged in, yet when

I do log in that bot becomes interactive with the console session -

the best of both worlds: always-runs service-like w/ automated crash

recovery, and at same time can still have forms w/ buttons and crap I

can interact with for odd, special tasks.

 

Thoughts?

 

Thanks,

 

Mike

I don't see why a single node resource would not work. Have you tried the

setup you've described?

 

Thanks,
