Now that the service account has been created, the next step is to create the DNS record for the MSCS
cluster. Also if your DNS infrastructure does not allow for the dynamic updates of ??? A ??™ records, then you
also use this script to create the DNS record for the Clustered Mailbox Server.
To use DNS scripting, the Windows support tools need to be installed on the server that will run
the script. The support tools are located in the \Support\Tools directory on the install CD. The
following script will connect to the DNS server, contact the DNS zone specified, and create the new ??? A ??™
record. This is necessary because one of the required resources in an MSCS cluster is the cluster name,
which is dependent upon the also required cluster IP address.
$DNS_Server=???exchangeexchange.local???
$DNS_Zone=???exchangeexchange.local???
$Cluster_Name=???MB002MSCS???
$Cluster_IP=???2.4.191.90???
dnscmd $DNS_Server /recordadd $DNS_Zone $Cluster_Name a $Cluster_IP
