Desparately Seeking a Cluster Book
I am still hungry for more after reading it. I think that this book assumes you may be a "Paper MCSE" b/c it explains basic stuff, such as Host Name Resolution (DNS, WINS and HOST Files) and IIS V-Servers. If your touching cluster servers this knowledge should be assumed (most are pretty pricey). It references SQL 6.5, not 7... I also wish the graphics matched the examples in the text.

Highly recommended
I needed to get a cluster up and running and this book was just what I needed. It shows you how to build and manage a cluster. I thought that part would be difficult but everything falls into place when you follow this book. The chapter on clustering SQL Server was the most important part of the book for me. This book had all the steps clearly laid out, so I was able to get it up and running. It's a great book and I'd recommend it to anyone needing to do clustering.

What is a Cluster?
Oops. Having read through 120+ pages ... Clustering as explained in this book was still a mystery -- making learning MSCS difficult. The Microsoft Cluster Server Administrator's Guide (included on the Enterprise CD) does a much better job through and through. By page 3 in the Administrator's Guide -- you get it. On the bright side, the author does explain how to execute administrative tasks well and there is a section for Clustering SQL and Exchange.
