Answer32-bit cluster.exe on 64 bit Windows 2008

    I am working with a 32 bit management tool that performs cluster operations using cluster.exe.  In windows 2003 this worked fine on both 32 and 64 bit versions due to a copy of cluster.exe being installed in both system32 and syswow64.  Unfortunately, as of windows 2008 it looks like cluster.exe is no longer included in syswow64.  Short of yanking a copy off a 32 bit install of 2008 and dropping it into syswow64, is there any way to get this tool installed?  I have not yet been able to find a package or a download that contains a 32 bit version intended to install on 2008.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Charles,

     

    From you description, I understand that you would like to remote manage Failover Cluster on a 32bit Windows Server 2008 from a 64bit Windows Server 2008

     

    Have you installed the RSAT feature?

     

    Please open Server Manager, click Add Features, navigate to Remote Server Administrator Tools -> Feature Administrator Tools, select Failover Clustering Tools and click Next to install it.

     

    Hope it helps.
