Queries regarding Replication (SCR/CCR)
Hi All,I am working on the MS Exchange Server 2007 and have doubts as mentioned below. I would appreciate if I could have your valuable inputs on the same:
SCR
Can we test SCR on a single Server and machine which is having Exchange Server 2007 installed?
Exchange management console shows version as 3.0 service pack 2
I have tried executing this cmdlet for an existing storage group and it executed successfully
Enable-StorageGroupCopy -identity 'Third Storage Group' -standbymachine indus-965864dc6.DEV.com
How can i make sure that SCR is enabled for this storage group. ?
On executing the command to disable SCR also it gives success
Disable-StorageGroupCopy -identity 'Third Storage Group' -standbymachine indus-965864dc6.DEV.com
What information do i need to look in order to make sure SCR is enabled for the storage group?
Please let me know if we can test SCR on a single server installed on a single physical machine.
CCR
Can we test CCR on a single Server and machine which is having Exchange Server 2007 installed?
Exchange management console shows version as 3.0 service pack 2
IS CCR as two server solution?
Do we essentially require two servers in order to enable CCR? ?

In order to test CCR you must have two nodes in your Windows cluster. You might want to check out my articles series covering the deployment of CCR in a test lab:
