Domain Controller Cluster, Exchange, Network Load Balancing, Active Directory, Global Catalog, DNS, DHCP, ISA?

Question by Craigus: Domain Controller Cluster, Exchange, Network Load Balancing, Active Directory, International Catalog, DNS, DHCP, ISA?
Is this doable?

two domain controllers (DC1 and DC2) in a cluster with:
Microsoft Server 2003 Enterprise
Microsoft Exchange 2003 Enterprise
Network Load Balancing
Active Directory
International Catalog
DNS
DHCP
ISA

Are there any problems with running all of these solutions on a cluster of 2 machines?

Does the NLB (Network Load Balancing) perform on the machines it is installed on? as in will it direct visitors to DC1 or DC2 based on the individual server load or does the NLB need to be done prior to the cluster such as a hardware load balancing device?

What I am immediately after is a configuration exactly where:
* If a machine fails the method continues working fine.
* Another machine can be added to the cluster (say right after a couple of years I want to upgrade the machines. I want to be in a position to take a single offline and replace if with a new machine with better specs let it replicate then take the other offline and do the identical).
* Every single machine is being utilised (so a single machine is not just sitting there waiting for the other to fail) (hence why I want to use NLB).

The reason I ask is that I want a answer that has minimal points of failure if I have to use an additional server for ISA and a single for Exchange and so on then I require to have an additional resolution for each and every of them if a single was to fail. Where as getting it all on one machine and having it in a cluster indicates that if one particular fails every thing continues operating. I not worried about resources or storage restraints I could run 4 servers in the cluster if necessary I just want to know the negatives of running these on one machine such as how operating ISA on a DC is much less secure.

Best answer:

Answer by naiku
first i would never ever run all those solutions on 2 machines. let alone 1 machine…since your mirroring the second machine. Also for some services genuinely aren’t proper for NLB like (dhcp, dns) just put them on the server2 for failsafe/hot standby if server1 drops.

besides that the rest sounds fine. tbh i would use 4 servers, 1 for exchange, yet another for dhcp & dns, then you can do your loadbalancing for ms server2k3, AD, GC, ISA. I recognize its not a excellent world. Just my two cents.
