Order of configuration for NLB

[Cstorms]

When setting up a new CAS Array, should a person install 2 instances of the CAS role prior to the creation of the WNLB configuration? Or is configuring the WNLB before the CAS installation preferred? Either way the powershell commands required are understood to be run, I am just trying to gauge if there is a preferred method. Thanks for your help!

There's no preferred method.

If you install the CAS array before creating the stores, the stores will automatically be set to use the array which saves a PS line.

Remember that the NLB can't go on an MBX server if you plan to have it in a DAG.
