You're planning to set up a CCR cluster across 2 datacenters.
Things to consider:
- In a 2 datacenter configuration, CCR will not provide you automatic
failovers. You will need to failover manually.
CCR Over WAN: Failover and FSW questions answered
http://exchangepedia.com/blog/2007/04/ccr-over-wan-failover-and-fsw-questions.html
- CCR in Exchange Server 2007 RTM requires both nodes to be on the same
(logical) subnet - you will have to configure your network accordingly
- MX records cannot point to CCR nodes (Clustered Mailbox Servers). CMS
role cannot co-exist with other Exchange Server 2007 server roles. Mailbox
Servers do not support SMTP. In addition to the 2 cluster nodes, you need at
least one (preferably 2 or more) server with Hub Transport & Client Access
Server (CAS) server roles. HT is equivalent of a SMTP bridgehead, CAS is
equivalent of a Front-End server. MX record can point to (A record of) HT
server(s).
Planning for Cluster Continuous Replication

- If you're looking at datacenter/site level redundancy, also look into
using Standby Continuous Replication (SCR), which will be available in SP1.
You can either use SCR alone, or CCR & SCR, to achieve your high
availability goals.

Hi,
I am planning to install exchange 2007 (new organisation, migrating from
domino) in our company. We have 2 physical locations (one active directory
site), and there will be one exchange server on each location. Following
is what i want:
- Use CCR to replicate mailboxes on both server, so that if one server
fails, all users can still access their mailboxes on the other server.
- Add MX records for both mail servers in dns with priority 10 and 20, so
that if one server fails, the other still receives mail from internet.
My question is, how i should setup exchange. Should it be a "typical"
setup on both servers, or custom setup? I have 2 windows 2003 server x64
editions ready.
Any help will be highly appriciated.... thanks.
Regards
/MAQ
