SCC and SCR   

We currently have a two node Single Copy Exchange 2007 SP1 cluster.
Is it possible to keep it as is, and add SCR to it?  We'd like to have a 
replica of it in our DR site.

Re: SCC and SCR   

- Yes, SCR supports that scenario
- SCR source and target can be clustered (SCC/CCR) or standalone

Re: SCC and SCR   

Before you continue to do this new deployment, make sure you have well 
considered the following questions.

1. What is your WAN link?
2. How big the replication will be?
3. What is the server load currently?
4. What is the RPO and RTO target?

Re: SCC and SCR   

Just a quick note:

If the SCR target server is a stand-alone server, then your DR recovery 
method will have to be "database portability".

If the SCR target server is a standby cluster, then your DR recovery method 
can be "RecoverCMS", which allows the standby cluster to take ownership of 
the Clustered Mail Server's original identity.

Re: SCC and SCR   

If the SCR target is a standalone that does not host its own production 
mailboxes, and you've lost the entire source server, you can use Setup 
/m:RecoverServer to recover the standalone source Mailbox server on the 
target.
