I concur with Chris, However I would and I have used Mail Essentials on a
cluster as this integrates better with exchange for spam handling, and put Mail
Security on an SMTP gateway to handle the virus stuff.

Cluster - Message is from an unknown sender
http://www.MSExchange.org/
Alexey,
First of all, let me ask this - Did your Exchange stores start correctly on
the Exchange servers before installing GFI? Do you show any errors or codes in
your event logs?
Secondly, it is of my opinion - if you have the funding and can afford to
separate services from Exchange I feel it is best to do so. There are already
enough 'things' that can negatively affect Exchange (especially in cluster
environments) so why introduce another variable such as GFI. If it were me,
and this is how I have my configuration - I would leave the cluster for
Exchange ONLY services and implement a GFI server on another standalone server
in SMTP mode. Have the two systems separate allows for more flexibility in
trouble shooting.
Also take into count the recent blunder by GFI in pushing out a bad Virus
update for Bitdefender. The fix called for a reboot and stopping IIS services.
If you have GFI installed on the Exchange server, especially where mailboxes
and Public Folders are homed, you would have negatively affected all of your
end users by following the steps in the 'fix'.
As Steve mentions below - Call GFI for support. They can at least assist
you with getting GFI running or completely removed from your cluster
environment depending on your plans for deployment.
Regards,
Chris

Yes I have been looking in the KB, but I couldn't find nothing about the
problem I'm having.

Do you mean I need to install another machine with Exchange (not in cluster) as
a front end server to deploy GFI?
Best Regards

As a user of GFI for the past 2 years, I strongly suggest keeping GFI separate
from Exchange - especially in a cluster environment.
I think you will have much more success if you put GFI on a Front End stand
alone server and keeping your backend Exchange services separate on the
clusters.
Just my two cent though.
Regards,

Subject: [exchangelist] GFI MailSecurity in Exchange 2k Cluster
http://www.MSExchange.org/
Hi,
Yesterday I posted a message on the list asking for a procedure to install GFI
MailSecurity on a two node Echange 2000 cluster with Windows 2000. Steve Moffat
answered me and I followed the procedure
http://kbase.gfi.com/showarticle.asp?id=KBID001516
<http://kbase.gfi.com/showarticle.asp?id=KBID001516> . My one is an active
passive cluster, and I'm using the MailSecurity v8.1. But when I finish
installing and configuring it in cluster administrator, the Exchange
Information Store stops and don't start in neither of the nodes. Can somebody
help me?
Thanks in Advance
Alexey Fernandez Suarez

The haggis is unusual in that it is neither consistently nocturnal nor diurnal,
but instead is active at dawn and dusk (crepuscular), with occasional forays
forth during the day and night.
