Hi All,
Does anybody know how I can set up HADR between two stand alone servers? Is it even possible to set up WSFC between these two servers?

You should be able to install the Failover Clustering feature on both servers. You may have to do a bit of work to make them not as standalone as they are today, of course. Ideally, the two servers need to be on the same subnet. Additionally, they should be connected to a SAN, so both servers can see the same storage that the databases will live on. If you have Enterprise Edition, you can use local storage and set up an Always On availability group, but you will still need the clustering set up, so the network name can freely fail between the two servers. Have a look at these articles:

Thank You Matt. I am using EE and I am planning on setting up AG. I will play around with my test Env and see if it works.
Steve, Thanks for the article. It gave the base idea of how to set up a WSFC.
