High Availability
Hi, I'm looking for high availability of the Exchange, may be I'm using a right term.The scenario is 1 AD 2003 Server with Single Forest Domain1 Exchange 2007 Memeber serverNo problem / No issues running smoothly. This last thursday our Leased Live Circut become dead and till now our all email are archived on a 3rd party server. i'll start receiving these emails once myLeased Line isUP. During this time our business is suffering badly and we can't communicate with the supplier/vendors/contractor etc.Is there a solution where I can setup another Exchange 2007 on a different geographical location so the user can access their email if the main exchange is down due to the communication.thanks in advance.regardsAdnan

Adnan,Yes I would look at SCR but this type availability is generally more expensive. I'd start by reading this. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb676571.aspx Keep in mind though, what role needs to be HA. Thanks,Mark Morowczynskihttp://almostdailytech.com

Not sure I understand.Your Exchange server is working OK, its imply the conenction to Internet that is broken.all incoming mail is queued on a server hosted by your ISP?If so, you can install another Exchange server on other location and somehow make the server having your queued mail deliver them to the extra exchange server instead of the original.This might seem easier than said since you need extra hardware, network connectivity between your two exchange servers and the extra exchange server need connection to a Global Catalog server and the server queing your incoming mail.larsp at avanade dot com, http://anewmessagehasarrived.blogspot.com

If you want to consider Geographical dispersal cluster, for checkthis thread, and heres a thread may help if you want to try the SCR, but SCR requires manually recover from main datacenter, it cant automatically failover
