    Hi All,

    this is the first time i'm facing this kind of Scenario.

    Is it Possible to have Windows Server 2003 R2 (X64) with SQL Server 2008 R2(X64) installed in a Single Mode ( No Clustering )? Then Creating a New Windows Server 2008 R2 with SQL Server 2008 R2 to be able to Transfer the First server as Part of Clustering Nodes and Add the Second Server to the Clustering Nodes ??

    What is the Possibility of this Implementation Method? and if Possible is there asy Recommandations?

    Hi,

    As per the MCS documentation, all nodes must have the same platform (x86, x64) and the same OS with the same SP level.

    I hope it helps.
