Re: XPOST: Replicating Exchange Server

Hi Bharat,

First, thanks for you your time.

2nd, yes, I want the remote location to service the same users that are on
the main location (as part of the same domain). If 1 server goes down, the
other one will continue to do the work. Once the down server comes back up,
they will sync and continue.

Remote users will be assign geographically but will be able to connect to
the other server if theirs goes down (either via webmail or re-pointing
outlook).

I will be upgrading to Exchange 2007 before implementing the remote site.

BTW, not sure what SCR is ...

Not sure what you mean by synchronized - do you want the server at the
remote location to be able to service existing users and replicate a
Storage Group from the current server to the remote server for site
resilience? Look at SCR when SP1 becomes available (beta available to
TechNet and MSDN subscribers).

You can also use CCR over a WAN, but the node in the remote location will
be passive and you'll need to stretch the subnet over the WAN if using
Windows Server 2003. The latter will change with the release of Windows
Server 2008.

Hi Everyone,

We currently have a centralized network which included a single domain
exchange server (2003 Enterprise).

Remote users connect via OWA or Outlook 2003/2007 cache on secure
connections (PPTP or IPSEC).

Due to expansion on one of our offices (we are in NY and this one growing
is
San Diego) and the fact that connecting remotely is slow we would like to
install a 2nd Exchange server that will be sync with the existing server.
The plan is to upgrade the current server to Exchange 2007.

Now, what are my options to keep both of them synchronized? Is
clustering
the only option?



If Clustering is the only option ... Dell recommended a 2nd server at
each
location for the purpose of mail transition ... is this necessary?
