Article: Q173809
Product(s): Microsoft Exchange
Version(s): winnt:5.5
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): kbusage

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you are connecting to an MSCS (Microsoft Cluster Server) cluster
installation of Exchange Server 5.5, the Actions tab of the Server Monitor
Property page will be disabled (unavailable).

CAUSE
=====

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Due to the nature of server monitors (that is, they can restart services and
computers), they conflict with the functionality of the MSCS. It is critical
that this functionality be disabled.
