Q256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry
SUMMARY
=======
Installing Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 1 (SP1) on a computer running
clustering services provided by Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 (SP4) release
candidate is not recommended. Setup may not work because the IrpStackSize
parameter is too small.
MORE INFORMATION
================
If the following entry is created in the Windows NT application event log during
installation of Exchange Server 5.5 SP1, you can use a workaround to run
clustering services and SP1.
ID: 2011
Source: srv
The server's configuration parameter "irpstacksize" is too small for the
server to use a local device. Please increase the value of this parameter.
The workaround is to increase the value of the IrpStackSize parameter.
