Resource Started
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 306640 -
After you remove and replace a physical disk
of the same geometry from a cluster during

is changed or damaged while the cluster is
in service. Although the new disk resource
and the new disk appear to be online, they

Windows
2000 Cluster Service Does Not Publish Clustered
Printers in Active Directory
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 300896 -
The Cluster service supports the clustering
of printer resources to provide highly-available

are published to Active Directory, they may
not be registered properly, and because of
this, may not be returned on a search (depending
on the choices that are made during the Dcpromo.exe
process).
