Can MSCS restore registry keys for an application from one server to the other when doing failover?
Yes. Recovery of an application’s registry information is a configurable feature that is available to the Generic Application and Generic Service resource types. Basically, you tell it what registry keys to log and recover, and that’s all there is to it. This capability should be used if the application or service stores volatile information in specific registry keys. If this is done, when the resource comes online on another node, it will have the same registry information as the previously online resource.
