CMS in W2003 NLB cluster
|
|
|
| Hi,
We are setting up CMS on a W2003 NLB cluster. Both CMS nodes are pointing to
the same database. One node is read only and one node is read/write. I have
few questions about the setup:
- First: Is there MS documentation (with best practises) available on how to
set up a CMS NLB cluster?
- I've read that it is not wise to use the iusr account as the cms guest
user. In a two node setup one just cannot use the iusr account since it is a
local user. So I want to create a domain guest user. This user will be a
member of the domain users groep and hence also the local users group. Are
there any security risks in using a domain account as the guest user within
CMS?
- Is it possible to make both nodes read/write? I've tried it, but a lot of
locked object messages appear.
regards,
Frank

| Hi Frank,
1) the only documentation I'm aware of for this is in the AC whitepaper:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tr...oy/cmsdes01.asp
2) you could also use local machine accounts for this:

Cheers,
Stefan.
