Mike,

You should keep it how you have it. It should be fine.
You will want to keep using the "EXCH02CLUS" as the nodename
for the scheduler responsible for backing up that server
because that will allow you to get accurate schedule status
on the TSM Server queries.

The Platform field going back and forth between
"WinNT" and "TDP MSExchg" should not present any problems.

Thanks,

Del
