Hi,

We currently have a two node sql cluster running SQL Mail.
At present we have to manually start up outlook so the mail client works.

I have been looking at the resource options and wondered if it was =
possible to setup outlook client as a resource and if so, what reg keys =
would I need to tell the resource to access?

Cheers

Hi Adam,
If I get your question right, you are wondering if you could make =
Outlook client as a cluster resource.

Answer is Yes. I am not well aware of what Outlook clients need( like =
regkeys e.t.c.). But say if you want to make a simple application like =
Notepad.exe or Cmd.exe you could host them as cluster resources by =
making a resource of type "Generic Application".=20
Here is a little more on Generic Application resouce type: =

scs/generic_application.asp

If this does not help then you might need to write a Resource dll that =
could make the interact with the OutLook client.
