HOWTO: Keep Cluster Administrator from Reconnecting to a Cluster

ID: Q197382

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Cluster Server, version 1.0
Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition version 4.0

SUMMARY

When you start Cluster Administrator, the default behavior is to reconnect to the last cluster that Cluster Administrator was previously connected to. In certain circumstances, this may not be the desired action.

MORE INFORMATION

You can use a command line switch to run Cluster Administrator without having it reconnect to previously connected clusters.

From the command line execute one of the following commands:

cluadmin /noreconnect

cluadmin /norecon

NOTE: In this case "/norecon" is an abbreviated version of "noreconnect".

Cluster Administrator starts and prompts the user with the Open Connection to Cluster dialog box.

NOTE: The dialog box shows the last cluster or server name that the Cluster Administrator was connected to as the first option.
