Multiple Exchange 2003 (Standard) servers |
|
|
Hi,
I've tried to find the answer to these questions in many places. Here
is our situation:
We currently have exchange 5.5 (2 sites/1 server @ each site) running
on Windows 2000 server. We have active directory set up. Both sites
use one domain.
We just merged with another agency and want to add a third site (and
server) and we want to continue to use only one domain. We also want
to upgrade to exchange 2003.
Here are my questions:
1. Can we use Exchange Server 2003 Standard having multiple sites and
servers?
2. I am aware of the 16 GB data store limit, will each site have it's
own data store?
3. Will each site be able to access their mailbox from one outlook
web access server?
Thanks for all the help in advance.
Dave P

Absolutley, you're in one domain in one forest so a single exchange
organisations with multiple servers is fine.

How does the routing works with multiple servers?
I can send from Server B to Server A, but from Server A to Server B the mail
got stuck in Server A:s queue,

The routing ought to work in a full mesh unless you've implemented
RG's which isn't what immediately springs to mind when you only have A
and B.
Can B "see" A? Are they talking to the same DNS or a DNS that's
getting replicated data from whichever DNS that A is using. A's DNS is
presumably correct because it knows about B. |

They are in the same domain, using same DNS.
First I had ex1.domain.com with all mailboxes. Then I installed
ex2.domain.com in the same site.
Created a testmailbox in ex2.domain.com and sended a mail to one of the
mailboxes in ex1.domain.com. Success deliver. When I reply it get stuck on
ex1.domain.com's queue called ex2.domain.com.
