DAG in exchange server 2010 across different sites

hello ;
I want to know the best way to implement DAG for exchange server 2010 across 2 sites in the same domain ,
I have 2 exchanger server in one site in DAG ,with 300 gb database size
but I want to implement exchange server 2010 in a new site within the same domain and this will be my 3rd exchange server and will be a member on my existing DAG in the head office
the new site is linked to my head office using ipvpn connection which is 6 mb , and ADC is there in the new site,
what is the best way to implement the new exchange server in the new site to join the existing DAG .
is there is any problem related to DAG in this scenario ?
what is the best way to implement this scenario ?
Thanks

Hi,
For each AD site, it is recommended to have at least there Exchange roles: CAS, HUB, and MBX roles.
Do you plan to have active users in this new site?
If there are active users in this new site, you can deploy a Three-Member DAG in two AD sites. However, it is recommended to deploy two DAGs in two AD sites and you should have at least two DAG members each AD site. This scenario, two witness servers in
separate site is necessary.
If the new site is only for DR purpose, you can install this new Exchange server and add it to DAG. After that, add database copy to this new server.
Besides that, here are two articles which may help you for your reference.

Exchange Server 2010 SP1 DR Site Setup

I will need to setup a new CAS/MBX server in a DR site. WAN link can max to about 2MB/s speeds
Main site: 2CAS / 2MBX servers in Load Balanced CAS and MBX1 and MBX2 in DAG of 4 databases
DR Site: 1CAS / 1MBX but I will place this MBX server in Stretched DAG and have passive copies
DR SITE: I would create the 4 databases on the MBX server, but seeding will take 5 days since I have over 800GB for all 4 databases
If I have backups of my databases in the DR SITE from main site, can I copy them(EDB) and logs and then mount them? Then add them to main DAG group? or the only way it can be done is to set up new CAS/MBX servers on same LAN as main servers,
let them sync and travel the servers to DR site?
Also, is my WAN link poor in speed for this DR scenario?

Hi Sectorzero,
FYI Exchange2010 SP1 and SP2 is out of support. Please upgrade to SP3.
You can manually seed the database by copying the complete to the exact location in the destination server. Steps below
1.Run the below command on the current server to get the details
Get-MailboxDatabase | fl name, edbFilePath, logFilePrefix, logFolderPath
2. Dismount the database and copy the database folder and logs folder to the server in DR and to thee same directory of server in primary site.
3. Mount the database.
4. Add the databases using the below command
Add-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity <DBNAME> -MailboxServer <DRSERVER> –SeedingPostponed
5.Check the content index state using the command below
Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus | fl name, contentindexstate, status
6. Resume/update the database copy.
Here is the reference
Resume-MailboxDatabaseCopy “DBName\DRServer“
7.If status failed you have to update by the below command and make both contentindexstate and status healthy
Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy DBNAME\DRSERVER –databaseonly
Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy DBNAME\DRSERVER –CatalogOnly

Exchange server 2010 redundancy using static IPs in different sites

Dear All;
We are facing a problem in Exchange server 2010 which is that we need to provide redundancy for two different sites which contain the same exchange databases using DAG but the issue is that if the main exchange server fails, users from the internet will
not be able to access the server because the main static IP is in the main site ...
========================================
My question is how to provide redundancy using two Global IPs in two different sites, and is there any consequences of doing such a setup?
========================================

Hi,
From your description, I would like to clarify the following things:
1. It is recommended to configure the IP Configuration for both the MAPI and Replication NIC on DAG nodes.
2. A site failure is managed differently from the types of failures that can cause a server or database failover. A site failure is considered to be a disaster recovery event, recovery should be manually performed and completed for the client service to
be restored and for the outage to end.
For more information, here is an article for your reference.
Switchovers and Failovers
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd298067(v=exchg.141).aspx
Besides, what do you mean by "global IPs"?
Hope it helps.

1) Physical Server - when we check the sector size on log file - 512 bytes (RAID5)
2) Virtual Server - when we check the sector size on log file - 4096 bytes
is there any workaround to solve this issue or do i need to re-install the physical server with 4096 sector size..
When i check the Volume details on both machine
1)
Bytes Per Sector : 512
Bytes Per Physical Sector : <Not Supported>
Bytes Per Cluster : 4096
Bytes Per FileRecord Segment : 1024
2)

Hi Jared,
I've got a question regarding your answer.
We have an existing Exchange 2010 DAG configuration with 3 mailbox servers in NL and 3 in the UK.
2 for normal databases at each site and 1 for Archive databases at each site.
The current Mailbox servers for the Archive databases are Hyper V 2008 R2 based VM's with a passthrough for storing the databases.
We now want add 1 new Mailbox server for storing archive databases at each site and add them to the DAG.
Can we use Windows 2012 Hyper-V hosts and create the new VM's with 4k sectorsize vhdx files for the new mailbox servers ?
Regards

Exchange server 2010 DAG configuration

Dear Boss,
I would like to configure Exchange server 2010 with DAG . I have test lab . i would like to tell my test LAB setup .
One domain controller win-2008 X 64 Ent
Two Exchange server 2010 ( Role - Client Access, Mailbox) Each Server Two Network Cards with Different Classes
IP 192.168.44.50 , 51
IP 10.0.0.10 , 20
One Exchange server 2010 ( Role - Hub Transport )
IP 192.168.44.53
Pls tell me how can i create DAG
Note:- i would like to test below steps
1. Exchange server1 may be down or network link down how server 2 to work automatically without any disturbance
2. Exchange server2 may be down or network link down down how server 1 to work automatically without any disturbance
3. Hub transport server maybe down how it can be work ?
Regards
Subash

Hi Suriya,
To create a DAG, simply use the below commands from Exchange Management Shell:
New-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Name "DAGNAME" -WitnessServer HUBSERVERNAME
Add-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupServer –Identity DAGNAME -MailboxServer ExchangeServer1
Add-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupServer –Identity DAGNAME -MailboxServer ExchangeServer2
New-MailboxDatabase -Name DB1 -Server
ExchangeServer1
Add-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity DB1 -MailboxServer
ExchangeServer2
You can run your tests now, by restarting any of the servers, and you should be able to see the DB1 will automatically failover & failback between the nodes with out any intervention.
for the HUB transport you must have another server to achieve high availability, so you can install the HUB role on a different server or add it to one of your existing servers.

Hi
So are all your exchange servers the same? settings?
have you tried to fail the DB back to its original server? all services started on the other server?

Is it right environment setup for DAG?

Hello,
For Exchange 2010 DAG installation you need:

Use Different mailbox or same mailbox if setup two accepted domains in one Exchange Server 2010

Hi,
I want to know if I setup two accepted domain in one Exchange Server 2010, will it have another mailbox or use same mailbox?

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, to add a new name in the accepted domain list is to add a SMTP address suffix for the mailboxes. Thus, it uses the same mailbox if you setup two accepted domain in one Exchange Server 2010.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

Exchange Server 2010 with SP3 Management Tools

Recently I have installed brand new Exchange Server 2010 with SP1 in my test domain. Afterwards I upgraded it to Exchange Server 2010 with SP3. On client machine (Windows 7 Pro with SP1 x64) I run setup.exe for Exchange Server 2010 with SP1 installation
DVD to install Management Tools. All checks passed successfully but after installation was completed there was an error in EMC:
The World Wide Web Publishing Service (W3SVC) isn't running on any Exchange servers in the site. If you want to connect to Remote Powershell, this service must be running. Make sure that the W3SVC is running on at least one Exchange server.
Of course service is running. I read this has something to do with different versions of Exchange Server itself and Management Tools. Since there is no installation of Exchange Server 2010 with SP3 how to solve this? I assume if I have installation of Exchange
Server 2010 with slipstreamed Service Pack 3, management tools installed from this installation would work.
Also does this mean that, if I have working tools for Exchange Server and SP for it is installed later, tools will stop functioning?

I would install SP3 on all servers and workstation as SP1 and SP2 aren't supported anymore and see how it is behaving...

Mail Delivery betweek Exchange Server 2013 co-existance with Exchange server 2010

Hello Guys
I have a mailflow issue, hoping someone can help with detail description, below is the setup
Exchange server 2010 SP3 with all roles in one server
Exchange server 2013 SP1 with CU6 with all roles in one server - this server is in a different subnet to the 2010 server. I am able to see exchange 2010 databases and mailboxes from Exchange 2013. For testing purposes, I have moved 3 mailbox from 2010
to 2013. These 3 mailbox, is able to send and receive email from Internet but to each other via OWA or Outlook. These 3 mailbox also not able to send to receive email from any mailbox that is still in 2010 server via OWA or Outlook. I am not planning the whole
server cutover in a go and planning to do state by stage mailbox migration so I need mailflow working properly. When I send an email from one of the migrated mailbox that is in 2013 server, I can see that the email leaves the mailbox outbox and sits in the
queue ..
Can someone please provide detailed solution what needs to be configured?
MCITP, MCSA, MCSE,VCP - Consultant, Solution Design, Implementation

Hi,
1.please check the mailbox send and receive quota for exchange 2013 migrated mailbox.
2.Please check the email attributes of the exchange 2013 migrated mailbox because it seems to be a problem with that particular mailbox.
3.Then do the message tracking and that would be the only way to find the where the send messages has gone.
4.Please check and confirm you have an enough space on the disk where exchange queue database is residing.
I think I need to create a receive connector in the 2013 to receive from 2010 ?
No need ,by design exchange 2013 cas server default frontend receive connector will be having an
entire ipv4 and ipv6 segment and anonymous connection is checked by default.
I think I also need to create a send and receive connector for 2013 users to each other?
No need , an intra organisation send connector and the default receive connectors in exchange will be used
for internal mail flow between the exchange 2013 users.
Please reply me if you have any queries .

Update Rollup 6/7 for Exchange Server 2010 SP2

Our config :
Version 14.2 (Build 247.5)
2 Mailbox servers (DAG), 2 CAS/HUB Servers using a NLB, 2 edge
my question is the following:
can i go directly to rullp 7 without installing 2,4, 5, 6 or I have to install all rollup ?
and what's the bests practices for installing rollup ?

Hello,
You can install rollup 7 directly without installing rollup 2,4, 5, 6.
You should install rollup 7 on your Exchange 2010 server roles in the following order: Client Access/ Hub Transport ,Mailbox and Edge Transport.
Please refer to the following article to install rollup 7 on CAS Array Members. (Please Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does
not guarantee the accuracy of this information.)
http://exchangeserverpro.com/how-to-install-updates-on-exchange-server-2010-cas-arrays/
Please refer to the following steps to install rollup 7 on Database Availability Group Members.
=============================================================
1. Run the StartDagServerMaintenance.ps1 script on the server being updated.
2. Install the update rollup .
3. Run the StopDagServerMaintenance.ps1 script .
4. Re-balance the DAG, as needed .

Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard "Certificate Authority Service" / Exchange Server 2010 EMC not starting and no AD connectivity for authentication.

Hello,
I am a new IT Manager at this company and need assistance big time. Their environment looks as follows:
Server 1. Domain Controller Server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard) running active directory.
Server 2. Email Server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard) running Exchange Server 2010 .
* Note. No back ups to work with aside from whats mentioned below.
DC had a virus infection causing a lot of issues on the shared network drives 2 days ago locking up all the files with a crypto ransom virus. Running Avast suppressed the infection. Had to recover the file shares which luckily had a back up.
The issue is that the Exchange Server 2 post this lost connectivity with the AD Server 1. Exchange Server 2 when launching EMC could not launch the console stating the following:
"No Exchange servers are available in any Active Directory sites. You can’t connect to remote
Powershell on a computer that only has the Management Tools role installed."
Shortly after I found that it is possible the EMC launcher was corrupt and needed to be reinstalled following another blog post. I deleted the exchange management console.msc per instructions only to discover I couldnt relaunch it because there was
no way how. So I copied another msc file that happened to be on the DC Server 1 back to Exchange Server 2 and got it to launch again.
Another post said that it might be an issue with the Domain Account for the Computer, so to delete it in the AD Server 1 only to find that rejoining it from Exchange Server 2 using Computer>Properties> Chage Settings > Change is greyed out because
it is using the Certificate Authority Service.
I tried manually re-adding the computer in AD and modeling permissions after another server in group settings but no go. After this I was unable to login to the Exchange Server 2 with domain accounts but only local admin, receiving the following Alert:
"The Trust Relationship between this workstation and primary domain failed."
I tried running the Power Shell tools on Exchange Server 2 to rejoing and to reset passwords for domain accounts as noted in some other blogs but no luck as the Server 2 could not make the connection with Server1 or other errors it kept spitting out.
I also during the investigation found the DNS settings were all altered on both the Server 1 and Server 2 which I luckily was able to change back to original because of inventorying it in the beginning when I started.
I need help figuring out if I need to rejoin the Exchange Server 2 manually by disabling the Certificate Authority Service (or removing the CA as listed here:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/fb23deab-0a12-410d-946c-517d5aea7fae/windows-server-2008-r2-with-certificate-authority-service-to-rejoin-domain?forum=winserversecurity
and getting exchange server to launch again. (Mind you I am relatively fresh to server managing) Please help E-Mail has been down for a whole day now!

I recommend that you open a ticket with Microsoft Support before you break things more.

How to configure Mailbox Read-Only access for Mailbox's owner on Exchange Server 2010?

I have to configure the Exchange Server 2010's mailbox to only grant Read-Only Access on the mailbox's owners. So they can only allowed to read their messages and cannot modify or remove them. Are there any references or methods to do?

Hi,alexchy8
We can make use of 2 PowerShell commands to achieve this goal.
Add-MailboxPermission and Add-MailboxFolderPermission.
Execute the Add-MailboxPermission command to delegate the read permission at mailbox level.
Execute the Add-MailboxFolderPermission command to delegate the required permissions on specific folders inside the mailbox.
You can read the following article as reference:
