gardenair you can't cluster unless you have a version that supports clustering. It takes more then two servers [shared disks]. If you go to Microsoft.com and lookup clustering in Technet you will get all the answers you need.

'tis the season to be of good cheer. Wishing one and all happy times with family and friends.

No you can't. you need server 2003 ENT or Datacenter.

You also need some form of shared storage like a san.

... ENT is around $2500 per server
A san will be a min of 15k

Also servers dont just fail over .. the application you want to be fault tolerant must be cluster aware ... like exchange or SQL 2000+
