SCC considerations...

Hello all,
I notice that in SCC it is created an adequate Resource Group for Exchange 2007 when I install solely the role "Active Clustered Mailbox" on a node;
so, it comes in my mind, if I play on "Preferred owners" and failback on that Group for example, I could elect one other server that I installed as a "Passive Role" as the preferred owner for that Group, so it isn't really mattering on which node I install the "Active Role" because it is just mattering that for creating the number of "Clustered Mailbox Servers" I want in the Cluster (aka: "Potentially all active nodes").
Hope to have been clear enough. Is that true?
Thank You

You're correct. Active and Passive only is how you're installing it. Once you're installing it, you can failover and the other server is completely active now. Because of that, you can set the preferred owner on the group however you want.“For success, attitude is equally as important as ability.” - Harry F. Banks
