I have a virtual test network with Windows Server 2008r2 consisting of 1 dc, 2 mail servers with Exchange server 2010 and 2 workstations windows 7. The test network email runs great with mail1 on line. I added a second mail2 to do some testing. It is recognised in the console. In testing, if I shut down mail1 the user accounts on the workstations lose email connectivity.
How do I get the second server to pick up the email services for the network. All are on the same subnet. My goal is to do the testing on the test network before installing a second mail server on my production network. I also want to install a DAG on the production network, but thats another step.
