Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007 setup displays this warning because the current Microsoft Windows cluster environment has only one network interface that is defined.

It is a recommended best practice to implement at least one network interface for the public network (client connection) and one network interface for the private network (administrative/heartbeat) to avoid a single point of failure.

To address this warning, implement at least one additional network interface for the Microsoft Windows cluster.
