Hi All, Customer has 2 locations, location A is connected to the Internet and location B is not. Location A and B are connected with 10 Mbps links. Customer doesnt want to implement any Exchange Server at the location with the Internet connection because all mailboxes/adminitrators are in location B My question is: Can we configure the Edge Server to send all the client requests to the CAS/HT servers in the location B? What could be the impact of deploying this model? Thanks
If location B doesn't have any internet connectivity but has all the Exchange servers, and location A has the internet but no Exchange servers, it seems you have little choice. Either you setup Edge in location B and configure your firewall in location A to forward SMTP to it over your internal network, or you locate it in location A and have it talk to Hubs in location B. Edge servers can be configured to forward mail anywhere (including to other AD Forests/messaging systems that don't use Exchange), and to any AD Site. No significant impact as such - you're probably doing something similar to get inbound mail to your Exchange servers. -- Bharat Suneja MVP - Exchange www.zenprise.com NEW blog location: exchangepedia.com/blog ---------------------------------------------- "Jesus Martin" wrote in message news:uZryySEVHHA.3652@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > Hi All, > > Customer has 2 locations, location A is connected to the Internet and > location B is not.
