Is there a way to start the cache cluster automatically on system startup? I'm running it on a remote PC and when it gets restarted I have to remote into it and restart the cache cluster from Powershell using Start-CacheCluster, and would like to not have to do this.

Thanks,

James

Yes - if you change the startup mode of the AppFabric Caching Service from Manual to Automatic, then the service will start once the server has finished booting. AppFabric Service configuration window

I suspect that as AppFabric starts to move into production clusters, this will become a 'best practice' thing to do in order to get maximum uptime on the cluster.
