With automation getting an increasing focus in our stack and datacenter /cloud discussions, we figured it could be interesting to take a step back and look at some of the use cases for automation, which apply to any automation engine, but happen to be easier to create and maintain with the Microsoft automation stack Beyond words, this blog post series will feature sample Runbooks to showcase what we are really talking about – and some of these are being made available as part of a download on TechNet Gallery.

A hotfix is available that adds support for GUID partition table (GPT) volumes that are larger than 2 terabytes on a Windows Server 2003-based server cluster

When you apply this hotfix on a Windows Server 2003-based server cluster, you can use GPT volumes that are larger than 2 terabytes. Note You cannot use the Windows interface to change a master boot record disk into a GUID partition table disk after the cluster is installed. Instead, you must use the convert gpt Diskpart command. You may notice a new partition that has a size of 1,024 bytes on clustered GPT volumes. On GPT disks, cluster creates this small partition in the MSR to help with the arbitration process.
