I am trying to automate some cluster maintenance work in an environment with Server 2003, Server 2003 R2, Server 2008 and Server 2008 R2 failover clusters. Since the FailoverCluster module cmdlets in PowerShell v2 don't work with Server 2003 releases, I've tried using Cluster.EXE to do the same work. What I have found is that Server 2008 R2 Cluster.EXE works fine with Server 2008 and Server 2008 R2, but use with Server 2003 or R2 gives the error message:
System error 1753 has occurred (0x000006d9).
There are no more endpoints available from the endpoint mapper.
If I go the other direction and try the Server 2003 Cluster.EXE utility with Server 2003 or R2, it works fine, but if I try use it with Server 2008 or R2, I get the message:
System error 1722 has occurred (0x000006ba).
The RPC server is unavailable.
Is there are any way to get one or the other utility to work with all four platforms?
Thanks in advance!
