SUMMARY

This article describes how to obtain Cluster Automation Server for Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000. Cluster Automation Server (CAS) is a set of ActiveX objects that can be used from scripting languages and Visual Basic to query and control a Cluster programmatically. CAS ships in the form of Msclus.dll.

MORE INFORMATION

There are two versions of CAS:
  • A Windows NT 4.0 version
  • A more feature-rich version for Windows 2000

The Windows NT 4.0 version of CAS can be obtained from the Platform SDK that ships with Windows 2000 under the Redist\Cluster\NT4\i386 (or alpha) directory. Please read the Readme.txt file in that directory before installing the DLL.

NOTE: A copy of Atl.dll may need to be added to your system. For a list of Microsoft applications that Atl.dll ships with, please refer to the following Web site:

CAS is installed by default in Windows 2000. No additional actions need to be taken. The DLL is also available in the Windows 2000 Admin Pack.
