We have added a new article in Microsoft Windows 2003 section. The detail of this article is

Title: Network Failure Detection and Recovery in Windows Server 2003 Clusters

Purpose: The way a server cluster in Windows Clustering handles the loss of private, internal cluster (heartbeat) communication is different in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 from the way it does in Microsoft Windows 2000. In Windows 2000, if there was a complete loss of heartbeat communication between the nodes in a cluster, the node that owned the Quorum resource, takes ownership of all resources. This article compares the behavior of a Windows 2000 cluster and a Windows Server 2003 cluster in the handling of such a situation.
