I just started a new job with a company that just installed Exchange 2007 SP1. The enviroment is a Windows 2003 cluster and a single Edge/Transport server. Since I'm new to the job and did not set it up, what do you suggest as my first steps to uncover any gotachas... I ran the Exchange Baseline Analyizer, no issues were found. Thanks....
Only the mailbox role can be clustered (MSCS) so I assume that is what's clustered. You need a CAS and HUB role at a minimum, so I would guess that is a CAS/HUM/EDGE or CAS/HUB (you don't necessarially need an edge; many designs don't include one). I'd start by understanding the exchange roles in the environment, AD components on which exchange depends and message flow inbound/outbound.

It can't be CAS/HUB/EDGE. Edge cannot be combined with any other roles. -- Regards, Scott Schnoll Microsoft Corporation This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Good point. My guess would be a HUB/CAS. You can't put those role on an MSCS cluster. "Scott Schnoll [MSFT]" wrote in message news:uCgwqBmnIHA.3636@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > It can't be CAS/HUB/EDGE.
