Standard resource types

XOX and XOX come with numerous resource types that you can use to manage cluster resources.

Internet Information Services (IIS) can be installed on a server cluster. For more information on how IIS runs on a server cluster, view the IIS online documentation.

If you have IIS installed, you can view the online documentation by typing http://localhost/iisHelp/ in your browser address bar and pressing ENTER.

You can install Message Queuing on a server cluster. For more information on the Message Queuing and Message Queuing Triggers resource types and how they run on a server cluster, see Message Queuing.

You can install Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC) on a server cluster. For more information on the Distributed Transaction Coordinator resource type and how it runs on a server cluster, see Component Services Administrative Tasks Overview.
