Hi all,
we have an organization exchange 2013 containing:
- Exch1 and Exch2 (mbx+cas)servers, Exch3 mbx server, Exch4 cas server.
- DAG database on Exch1, Exch2 and Exch3
We are facing 2 issues:
issue 1 – some mailboxs which are used for mail diffusion is overloading mail connection.
issue 2 – when Exch4 cas server is unavailable, all clients are disconnected because there is no high availability between cas servers, we’ve tried round robin but it didn’t work properly, so we fixed client connection name to exch4.
To resolve those issues, I 'll appreciate your valuable opinion on the following solutions before doing something stupid:
For issue 1:
1- Add a another connection with secondary MX
2- Add a new exchange mbx server Exch5 which will host mail diffusion mailbox
3- Add a new send connector configured with new Exch5 as source server and new connection as smart host, so this Exch5 server will send mail only through the new connection
For issue 2:
1- 1- Add a new exchange cas server Exch6
2- 2- Create aNLB WindowsClusterwith Exch4 and Exch6 cas servers as members
3- 3-Clients (outlk, owa, activesync...) connect to cluster name rather than exch4
am I right or did I miss something important?
Thanks for help
