Windows Server Forum / Exchange Server / Design / August 2005Exchange noob
Hi, I will shortly be installing two new 2003 Exchange machines at two sites on the same domain receiving email for the same domain e.g. @email.com. Both sites have a DC and both DC's are catalogue/dns servers. The sites are connected by a 512k VPN to each other. I have installed a couple of 2003 Exchange servers before but never multiple servers on the same domain and have no idea as the best way to go about it. Any pointers/advice would be greatly appreciated. As long as you have local GCs it shouldn't be any different then installing them in the same site. Make sure dns and replication works, and allow for the forestprep schema changes to replicate to dc on remote site before installing.

Ok, what I don't understand is when an email comes into Site1 server that needs to get to Site2 server how does it actually get to Site2 server? Do they automatically synchronise because they are on the same domain? or do I have to make some changes? If they do synchronise will this mean that they always have the same data store? > As long as you have local GCs it shouldn't be any different then > installing them in the same site.

Email from exchange in site 1 gets to exchange in site 2 using smtp. This assumes both exchange servers are in same Routing Group and have connectivity to each other. The other option is to create a separate Routing Group for site 2 and move the Site 2 exchange server to that RG. Connect both routing groups with a Routing Group Connector. You typically do this if there isn't enough bandwidth between 2 sites - you can control the message flow over a Connector - schedule message transfer, decide who can send/not send... this also requires both sites can communicate with each other.
