Hub Transport Server is not in network load balancing

Hi,
We have 2 HUB Servers which configured in different cluster IPs each(1.1.1.1 & 1.1.1.160), so there is no redundancy in HUB now. So do i need to uninstall the NLB in HUB2 and re-install again or can i add in the existing NLB itself. Please suggest.

The hubs need to be in the same NLB array for redundancy. From your posting, it appears you have two NLB arrays, each with one of your hubs. Just add the second hub to the first hub's array and you should be good to go. Oh, you don't
need to uninstall, but it's not going to hurt to kill the second NLB array - unless you plan to use it for something else.

Windows Server 2012 R2 - Windows Network Load Balancing Converging Issue

Hello,
My name is Brandon. We have started upgrading our servers to Windows Server 2012 R2. We have some powerful servers for running ESXI 5.5 as the OS with the Guest Operating Systems as Windows Server 2012 R2. As far of our migrations/upgrades we have configured
ADFS 2012 R2 into a Server Farm with Windows Network Load Balancing to add redundancy in the event a server goes down.
I have been having issues with a Node with the Cluster getting stuck in the Status of Converging. The only way I have been able to get it back up is to restart the virtual server completely and it is temporary. When I first configure the Cluster the two
virtual servers get added to the Node with no problems and fully converge. However, after some time a node will end up in Converging and this takes Authentication for ADFS down as the nodes can not be contacted over Port 443.

Thank you for your response. It took me a while to figure it out, but the whole issue was related to the type of Virtual Network Adapter I was selecting.
I changed the network adapter from E1000 to VMXNET 3 and have not had a single error in the event logs or Windows NLB.
I read somewhere that VMXNET 3 is preferred for Windows Server 2012 R2.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that：2 ESXI 5.5 physical devices (192.168.0.5 and 192.168.0.6), each of them has a virtual WS 2012 R2(192.168.0.10 and 192.168.0.20). Cluster the 2 virtual servers successfully, but they corrupt with event
ID 21, and a restart of virtual device will resolve this problem temporarily.
Event ID 21 means that NLB failed to converge due to inconsistencies in the port rules between this host and cluster host. This will occur if the number of port rules or the type of port rules are different between hosts.
Ensure that all NLB hosts have identical port rules. Detailed steps you may reference:

Bug with Network Load Balancing Services and SkipAsSource always reverting to true

Steps to reproduce:
Add an IP address to the cluster (2 nodes running Windows Server 2012) using the Network Load Balancing Manager
Using PowerShell set the SkipAsSource flag on the IP Address to true (Set-NetIpAddress -IpAddress 192.168.1.10 -SkipAsSource $true). The flag is correctly set.
Try to reverse the setting (Set-NetIpAddress -IpAddress 192.168.1.10 -SkipAsSource $false). Flag stays as true.
It appears as though Network Load Balancing Services is remembering the setting from someone.
Things I've tried all without success (in no particular order):
Removing the IP address from the cluster and adding it back in
Using PowerShell to remove the IP address and add it back in manually (on each host).Flag stays set as true on the 1st node but takes a second before it reverts back to true on the 2nd node.
Using netsh to remove the IP address and add it back in manually (on each host). Flag stays set as true on the 1st node but takes a second before it reverts back to true on the 2nd node.
Deleting each host from the cluster (one at a time), removing the registry keys CurrentControlSet\Services\WLBS and
Removing both hosts from the cluster
Restarting the hosts
Using processmon (sysinternals) to try and find a registry entry that might be set when SkipAsSource is set
Does anyone know:
How to resolve this issue? I'm guessing resetting the TCP/IP stack would work but that's a last resort as it requires an on sight visit to the datacentre.
Where the SkipAsSource flag it stored?
How to reset the master/global cluster config?
Thank in advance,
Antony

Hub Transport Server

Dear All,
I have 2 mailbox servers which are in DAG with one HUB transport server it's working fine .
I have a problem with Hub transport server .If we shutdown Hub transport server the exchange mail users they can't login to email . how can we solve this ? or can i create another one Hub transport ? or which one best for
Usss.
I am waiting .

Hi Subash,
I suggest you install one HUB+CAS and configure CAS array to load balance your CAS servers.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/ucedsg/archive/2009/12/06/how-to-setup-an-exchange-2010-cas-array-to-load-balance-mapi.aspx
CAS Array will not load balance by itself you should have a load balancer. It is an object in AD. Please read this to understand about CAS array. http://exchangeserverpro.com/exchange-server-2010-cas-array/
If you have a load balancer it will load balance both HUB and CAS.
if you don't have budget for load balancer you can go with DNS RoundRobin which is not an automatic failover system. Please read these. Threads discussing about DNS RoundRobin and CAS array.

Multicast not working with Window2K Network Load Balancing.

I'm using W2K Network Load Balancing (WBLB) for our cluster machines (2
          boxes) to load balance between IIS (one IIS instance on each box). Each IIS
          instance is a proxy to the weblogic cluster (one app server instance on each
          box). Currently I only have a single network card configured for each box,
          so I have had to enable multicast support for the WNLB. But if I do this
          I'm unable to get multicasting working correctly for the weblogic cluster.
          When I run the multicast tester (utils.MulticastTest) one box is able to
          receive multicast messages from both boxes, but the other box is only
          receiving multicast messages from itself (but not the other box). Does
          anyone have any experience with configuring weblogic clustering on machines
          with WNLB also configured?
          Thank you.
          Marko.


Hi
NLB return traffic for UDP would come from the node IPs.
You could use NAT on your firewalls so they come from the same public IP.
Otherwise you'd be looking at something other than MS NLB.

Redundancy For On-Premises Hub Transport Server

I'm using a Hybrid Environment - Exchange 2010 SP3 On-Premises and Exchange Online. Mail routing between the 2 systems happens through one Hub Transport server located on-premises. The default settings mandate using a certificate for SMTP connections, both
ways, as stated
here. The problem is that a certificate cannot be used twice for SMTP inside an Exchange org, so having redundancy in place would require minimum 2 valid certificates issued by a Public CA. Is there a method for getting away with only one cert and having
multiple transport servers balancing the SMTP traffic between on-premises and Exchange Online ?
Two workarounds come to mind - (1) disable requiring TLS, thus lowering security and (2) use a load balancer to offer a single virtual endpoint to be seen by Exchange Online, but put multiple Hub Transport boxes behind this (also being aware of the
Caution entry
here).
Is there another way this could be done ?

Hi,
First, I recommend you check the articles below. We must ensure that the server meets the appropriate prerequisites and system requirements before we begin our installation.
Exchange 2010 Prerequisites
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691354(v=exchg.141).aspx
Exchange 2010 System Requirements
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996719(v=exchg.141).aspx
Besides, I suggest you prep active directory and domain manually to check the result.
An article about how to prepare Active Directory and Domains for your reference.
Prepare Active Directory and Domains
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125224(v=exchg.141).aspx
If the issue persists, in order to troubleshoot the issue more efficiently, I need to clarify some infomation:
1. Are you installing Exchange 2007 into an existing 2003 organization?
2. Did that server or computer object in AD have a prior version of Exchange on it? From the issue, it seems that you have an old Exchange server object still left in Active Directory.

Hi MS DEF,
A second network adapter is required to provide peer-to-peer communication between cluster hosts. Please isolate your heartbeat network. With unicast when cluster is connected
to a switch, incoming packets are sent to all the ports on the switch, which can cause switch flooding, please confirm you have setup your switch correct, you can refer the following Cisco Switch related unicast configuration.

Network Load balancing for Server 2003 and Server 2012

Our environment currently has 2 web servers running Windows Server 2003 with Network Load Balancing. We are looking to update the servers to Windows Server 2012. Is it possible to add Windows Server 2012 into the Windows Server 2003 Network Load
balancing cluster? This way we could bring up 2 new servers add them into the network load balancing and then take out the 2003 servers without disrupting our production.
Any thoughts or suggestions on how to make this work properly?

Hi,
You can upgrade an existing Network Load Balancing (NLB) cluster to Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows Server 2012 by taking the entire cluster offline
and upgrading all the hosts, or you can leave the NLB cluster online and perform a rolling upgrade. A rolling upgrade entails taking individual cluster hosts offline one at a time, upgrading each host, and returning the host to the cluster. You continue upgrading
individual cluster hosts until the entire cluster is upgraded. A rolling upgrade allows the cluster to continue running during the upgrade.

Store Driver of Hub Transport server.

Hi Team ,
I would like to know what is the "exe" name for Store driver of Hub transport Server which is responsible for putting messages to Submission Queue.

Hi,
Store.exe is a process, it indicates that Exchange information store service is running.
The store driver is a software component of the Hub Transport Server that delivers inbound messages to Microsoft Exchange stores, the databases that contain public folder stores and mailbox stores. The store driver also retrieves messages from a user's outbox,
and submits them for delivery.
Hope my clarification is helpful.

Network Load Balancing for AFP Sharing

Dear all,
Anyone can kindly teach me how can I configure network load balancing with 2 xserve?
Currently I success to bond 6 ethernet port with a virtual IP in a single machine and I have a link aggregation setup in my switch. It works fine.
How to configure 2 xserve with 6 ethernet port per each to have a single virtual IP?
my switch do not support link aggregation with a virtual IP to do the load balancing so I just can consider to do it in software level.
Anyone know whether OS Leopard/Snow Leopard can do it? Or any suggestion for 3rd party software can perform this?
Thanks expert!
Karl

It sounds like you need a load balancer. There's nothing built-in to Mac OS X Server that's going to support one virtual IP address shared across multiple physical servers.
Your problem, though, is likely to be one of throughput - I don't know any cheap load balancers that will sustain that kind of throughput, so you may be looking at some serious $$$$s.
There are some software-based load balancers that might be able to handle the load balancing side of things but many of them are designed around HTTP so might not work so well for other protocols.
In addition, the software load balancer is going to suffer the same bottleneck as your AFP server, but doubly so - two servers with 6 x 1gbps links each you have a theoretical limit of 12gbps.
To run that through a load balancer, the load balancer will need double that - 12gbps for the client-side, plus 12gbps for the server side. In reality you're probably looking at needing 10gbps interfaces and switches if you're really pulling that much bandwidth.

Acrhitecture of network load balancing solution

i'm working on a setup that will transition our existing data center setup to a network load balancing solution. i'm far from understanding what components to use and how to approach the problem so any help would be very welcome. here is what we currently have:
1. 3 web servers (serverA, serverB, serverC)
2. 1 sql server
3. 2 layer two unmanaged switches
4. 1 cisco firewall
each one of the web servers runs a dedicated web app. what i would like is to replace serverA with a NLB cluster of 3 servers and replace serverB with another NLB cluster of 3 servers. serverC is not getting that much usage and it can stay as is.
i have looked at possible solution with Windows Server 2008 NLB and it seems that the best way to do it would be using multicasting which requires upgrading out switches. at the same time if would much more prefer to use hardware load balancing than Windows Server. so i looked at Cisco ACE 4710 appliance. however it seems that some of the cisco switches will also do load balancing. now i'm completely confused whether to upgrade the switches and use them for load balancing or use the ACE appliance. i would appreciate any advices and suggestions. also, any recommendations on breaking up the network using VLANs - if it is necessary with either one of the solutions or if there is some benefit. i guess i'm looking for a "best practices" solution...
any links or documents would be very welcomed.
thanks.

thanks for your response. i think i'm going with ace 4710. now, as far as vlans go why would i need internet, dmz and internal vlan in my datacenter? i understand that this may be a bit off topic but what is really bugging me is this: with the current setup all of the web servers have 2 nics - one with public IP and one with private IP. same goes with the sql server. on web servers nics with private IPs are used for communicating with the database server. they could very well communicate using nics with public IPs but the person that set this up (i recently inherited it) was convincing me that with the existing setup "public" nics are not burdened with communication between web servers and database server. is this "correct" way of doing it?

Network Load Balancing - "access denied" when loading configuration information from host2

We have 2 Windows 2012 R2 servers, both are running on workgroup.
We set up NLB cluster. When we open NLB Manager on the server2, then message shows "loading configuration information. Access denied. Error connecting to server1".
There is no issue doing this on server1, NLB Manager is able to connect to both servers. We login using default administrator account, both account name and password are the same for 2 servers.
When we check security event log on server1, there is this strange Audit Failure log using account "test_nlb" from server2 which related to "Access denied" error. Please let us know how to resolve this. Thanks in advance.

Hi Zhong Gang,
When you are using Network Load Balancing (NLB) Manager, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the host that you are configuring, or you must have been delegated
the appropriate authority. If you are configuring a cluster or host by running NLB Manager from a computer that is not part of the cluster, you do not have to be a member of the Administrators group on that computer. Please disable your nodes firewall and
try again.

Network Load Balancing (NLB)

Dear Support,
I have install NLB feature on two windows 2008 R2 servers both have configured with IIS. However I have tested both are working fine and both are accepting the request successfully.
Since we have performed load test the load balance between the server is not equal
Host 1
CPU Utilization =53%
Host 2
CPU Utilization = 10%
Please suggest.
Regards
Naveed

Hi naveed,
This is normal. NLB is using the node that has the fastest response / highest priority and/or your configuration you can find more info about this here :

Network Load Balancing and failover for AFP Sharing

Dear all,
Somebody kindly teach me to use round robin DNS to perform the network load balancing, it's success but not the failover.
I have 4 xserve and want to do the load balancing and failover at the same time.
I have read the IP failover document and setup it successfully, but anyone know is it possible to do the IP failover for more than 2 server?
For example, 4 server serving the AFP service at the same time, maybe I have 1 more extra server to do the IP failover for thoese 4 servers.
As I know, IP failover require Firewire as the heartbeat detection. But one xserve only have 2 firewire ports. May I setting up the IP failover only by a ethernet port and an IP address? does it possible to detect and failover to any server after server down has been detected?
I believe load balancer maybe the best solution but its cost is too high.
Thanks any advance!

well, u have 2 options here
software load balancing
request comes it foo.com -> ws7u2 hosting foo.com is configured to run as reverse proxy . this server sends any incoming requests to one of the four back end web server 7 handling your incoming request
hardware load balancing (this you need to invest)
request comes to hardware load balancer who responds for foo.com -> sends requests to four ws7 server hosting your application
you could try out how software load balancing works out for you before you invest in hardware load balancing
here is more instruction on configuring ws7 + reverse proxy (software load configuration)
- install ws7 on foo.com
- create a new configuration (choose port 80, disable java

Hub Transport Server is not in network load balancing
