We currently have our main Exchange servers in Germany, but have multiple locations in the United States. We have MPLS connections to Germany, but they are fairly slow, and we have other traffic besides Exchange on these connections.
When setting up a new computer for a user in the US, it takes multiple days for Outlook to copy the mail down for the first time setup (and with the speed, we definitely want the local cache).
I was thinking it may improve performance by setting up a server at the main location in the United States. I'm assuming we can configure exchange to forward all incoming mail for the US accounts would from the German Exchange server to US server.
Would this be a recommended setup? Any suggestions for best practices or making this as efficient as possible?
Thank you!
