Need some advise on Multi-role server as a backup

Hi,
I am very new to Exchange 2013 deployment. So please excuse me if my terminology is not correct.
My scenario is as such, I want to Split the CAS and the MBX roles for exchange into 2 separate servers. Let's call them MBX1 and CAS1
Then, I want to have a 3rd, high-end server which would be part of the DAG and hold a copy of the MBX1 server's database. Also, I want this server to act as a CAS as well, but only if the original is down.
So I read in the forums about how DAG works so my question is can a Multi-Role server be part of the DAG for MBX1? Can the same server also take over the CAS role only if CAS1 is down? How can I configure it to behave in this fashion?
The deployment will also have a new AD server, currently there is no AD. So i am thinking of my overall architecture how it will function.
I appreciate your comments and feedback!

Hi
Here are the answers
So I read in the forums about how DAG works so my question is can a Multi-Role server be
part of the DAG for MBX1?
Yes multirole servers can be a part of DAG
Can the same server also take over the CAS role only if CAS1 is down? How can I configure
it to behave in this fashion
Yes they also can function as CAS servers
The deployment will also have a new AD server, currently there is no AD. So i am thinking
of my overall architecture how it will function.
Its always recommended to have a DC installed separately
For CAS high availability you can have
2 or more individual CAS servers together in a hardware or software LB
for mailbox High availability you can have
3 or more mailbox servers combined together in a DAG in a same data-center or different data-center

Exchange 2010 Migration - Decommissioning Multi Role Server and Splitting Roles to 2 new servers - Certificate Query

Hi,
I have been tasked with decommissioning our single Multi Role Server (CAS/HT/MB) and assigning the roles to 2 new servers. 1 server will be dedicated to CAS and the other new server will be dedicated to HT & MB roles.
I think I'm OK with the moving of HT and MB roles from our current server to the new HT/MB server by following "Ed Crowley's Method for Moving Exchange Servers", my focus is on the migration of the CAS role from the current to the new server as
this one has the potential to kill our mail flow if I don't move the role correctly.
The actual introduction of the new CAS server is fairly straight forward but the moving of the certificate is where I need some clarification.
Our current multi role server has a 3rd Party Certificate with the following information:
Subject: OWA.DOMAIN.COM.AU
SANs: internalservername.domain.local
autodiscover.domain.com.au
The issue here is the SAN entry "internalservername.domain.local" which will need to be removed in order for the certificate to be used on the new CAS server, firstly because the CAS server has a different name and secondly the internal FQDN will
no longer be allowed to be used from 2015 onwards. So I will need to revoke this certificate and issue a new certificate with our vendor who is Thawte.
This presents me with an opportunity to simplify our certificate and make changes to the URLs using a new certificate name, so I have proposed the following:
New Certificate:
Subject: mail.domain.com.au
SANs: autodiscover.domain.com.au
OWA.DOMAIN.COM.AU
I would then configure the URLs using PowerShell:
Set-ClientAccessServer -Identity NEWCASNAME-AutodiscoverServiceInternalUrl https://mail.domain.com.au/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -Identity " NEWCASNAME\EWS (Default Web Site)" -InternalUrl https://mail.domain.com.au/ews/exchange.asmx
Set-OABVirtualDirectory -Identity " NEWCASNAME\oab (Default Web Site)" -InternalUrl https://mail.domain.com.au/oab
Set-OWAVirtualDirectory -Identity " NEWCASNAME\owa (Default Web Site)" -InternalUrl https://mail.domain.com.au/owa
I would also then set up split DNS on our internal DNS server creating a new zone called "mail.domain.com.au" and add an host A record with the internal IP address of the new CAS server.
Now I know I haven't asked a question yet and the only real question I have is to ask if this line of thinking and my theory is correct.
Have I missed anything or is there anything I should be wary of that has the potential to blow up in my face?
Thanks guys, I really appreciate any insights and input you have on this.

Hi Ed,
Thanks for your reply, it all makes perfect sense I guess I was being optimistic by shutting down the old server and then resubscribing the edge and testing with mailboxes on the new mailbox server.
I will make sure to move all of the mailboxes over before removing the old server via "Add/Remove Programs". Will I have to move the arbitration mailboxes on the old server across to the new mailbox server? Will having the arbitration mailboxes
on the old server stop me from completely removing exchange?
Also, the InternalURL & ExternalURL properties are as follows:
Autodiscover:
New CAS - InternalURL: https://svwwmxcas01.pharmacare.local/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml
Old CAS - InternalURL: https://svwwmx001.pharmacare.local/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
WebServices:
New CAS - InternalURL: https://svwwmxcas01.pharmacare.local/EWS/Exchange.asmx
New CAS - ExternalURL: https://owa.pharmacare.com.au/EWS/Exchange.asmx
Old CAS - InternalURL: https://svwwmx001.pharmacare.local/ews/exchange.asmx
Old CAS - ExternalURL: https://owa.pharmacare.com.au/EWS/Exchange.asmx
OAB:
New CAS - InternalURL: http://svwwmxcas01.pharmacare.local/OAB
New CAS - ExternalURL: https://owa.pharmacare.com.au/OAB
Old CAS - InternalURL: https://svwwmx001.pharmacare.local/oab
Old CAS - ExternalURL: https://owa.pharmacare.com.au/OAB
OWA:
New CAS - InternalURL: https://svwwmxcas01.pharmacare.local/owa
New CAS - ExternalURL: https://owa.pharmacare.com.au/
Old CAS - InternalURL: https://svwwmx001.pharmacare.local/owa
Old CAS - ExternalURL: https://owa.pharmacare.com.au/
ECP:
New CAS - InternalURL: https://svwwmxcas01.pharmacare.local/ecp
New CAS - ExternalURL: https://owa.pharmacare.com.au/ecp
Old CAS - InternalURL: https://svwwmx001.pharmacare.local/ecp
Old CAS - ExternalURL: https://owa.pharmacare.com.au/ecp
Our Public Certificate has the following details:
Name: OWA.PHARMACARE.COM.AU
SAN/s: autodiscover.pharmacare.com.au, svwwmx001.pharmacare.local
From your previous communications you mentioned that this certificate would not need to change, it could be exported from the old server and imported to the new which I have done. With the InternalURL & ExternalURL information that you see here can you
please confirm that your original recommendation of keeping our public certificate and importing it into the new CAS is correct? Will we forever get the certificate warning on all of our Outlook clients when we cut over from the old to the new until we get
a new certificate with the SAN of "svwwmx001.pharmacare.local" removed?
Also, I am toying with the idea of implementing a CAS Array as I thought that implementing the CAS Array would resolve some of the issues I was having on Saturday. I have followed the steps from this website, http://exchangeserverpro.com/how-to-install-an-exchange-server-2010-client-access-server-array/,
and I have got all the way to the step of creating the CAS array in the Exchange Powershell but I have not completed this step for fear of breaking connectivity to all of my Outlook Clients. By following all of the preceeding steps I have created a Windows
NLB with dedicated NICs on both the old CAS and the new CAS servers (with separate IP addresses on each NIC and a new internal IP address for the dedicated CAS array) and given it the name of "casarray.pharmacare.local" as per the instructions on
the website, the questions I have on adding the CAS array are:
1. Do you recommend adding the CAS array using this configuration?
2. Will this break Outlook connectivity alltogether?
3. Will I have to generate a new Public Certificate with an external FQDN of "casarray.pharmacare.com.au" pointing back to a public IP or is it not required?
4. If this configuration is correct, and I add the CAS Array as configured, when the time comes to remove the old server is it just as simple as removing the NLB member in the array and everything works smoothly?
So, with all of the information at hand my steps for complete and successful migration would be as follows:
1. Move all mailboxes from old server to new server;
2. Move arbitration mailboxes if required;
3. Implement CAS Array and ensure that all Outlook clients connect successfully;
4. Remove old server;
5. Shut down old server;
6. Re-subscribe Edge from new Hub Transport server;
7. Test internal & external comms;
We also have internal DNS entries that would need changing:
1. We have split DNS with a FLZ of "owa.pharmacare.com.au" that has a Host A record going to the old server, this would need changing from "svwwmx001.pharmacare.local" to "svwwmxcas01.pharmacare.local";
2. The _autodiscover entry that sits under _TCP currently has the IP address of the old server, this would need to be changed to the IP address of the new CAS;
3. The CNAME that sits in our FLZ for "pharmacare.local" would need to be changed from "svwwmx001.pharmacare.local" to "svwwmxcas01.pharmacare.local".
4. Or rather than using the FQDN of the server where applicable in the DNS changes would I be using the FQDN of the CAS Array instead? Please confirm.
Would you agree that the migration path and DNS change plan is correct?
Sorry for the long post, I just need to make sure that everything goes right and I don't have egg on my face. I appreciate your help and input.
Thanks again.

Jamie

Need some advise

Hi All,
I need some advise from you JAVA gurus. Here is the situation:
Our Java development team developed an application running on Weblogic 8.1 SP3. The application is contained in the ear file....which is perfect. They now wanted to go live in about 3 months from now. We were discussing plans how to it live but running into a major show stopper.
Our Linux/Unix weblogic support group do not support/ allow running any singleton java processes except whatever is running as weblogic instances.
Application development has a requirement to run these 5-7 singleton small little java program (currently i do not know exactly what these small little java processes does).
We have proposed that the application team should own these processes and they have to run it outside of the BEA weblogic servers (i.e these singleton processes are not allowed to run on our common Unix machines running WLS8.1 sp3).
We have only ONE option:
1) Run these small little singleton java processes somewhere else that will be owned by application team.
Questions:
1) What are the problems that may arise if these singleton processes do not co-exist with where the application server runs (hosting the application ear file)?
2) Is there any other ways of circumventing this problem (any other ways based on your expertise) ?
3) Also, iam trying to understand these singleton processes, so what questions should i ask before i have a head to head discussions with the application team ?
[any watch list??]
Thanks for all your help.
Take care.

duffymo/others,
I was initially confused with the term "singleton" ...what i meant to say was "stand along java processes". So, there is nothing singleton but this application has few stand alone java processes that the Linux/Unix team do NOT want to run where the weblogic managed instances are running.
So, say my weblogic servers are running on Host A and Host B each having 3-3 each BEA weblogic managed instances CLUSTERED...then these stand alone java processes IS NOT ALLOWED to run there.
I hope this time i am much clearer .... :)
Iam sorry .... i was totally confused with this term called "singleton" as i incorrectly misinterpreted as stand alone java processes ....sorry about that again.

Need some advise for import video in Flash

Hi guys, i got a problem with importing video in Flash.
Actually I know how to import video in swf
There are 3 ways;
1. loading external video with playback component
2. embed FLV in SWF
3. URL
Ye i know second way is easy and fast but it needs to control everytime when the contents are changed or fixed.
So best way for me and my work is first way
Problem is when i use first way then move full swf file to another pc, just video (in the swf) doesn't play at all.(i'm sure it's from wrong file path)
How to change the content path? I tried so many times but failed.. (just doesnt work and some error message appears on output)
Should I install flash program in another pc then replace all the file?
Please I need your advise
Thanks

I was able to tether my original Verizon Droid using EasyTether without needing to root the phone. The free version wont work with https sites, but its not expensive to buy the full version after you figure out if it will work. Its not fast but seems to work ok.

Need some advise on a AEBS set up and LAN

Ok.
Signed up on DSL2+. I have a DSL modem i can bridge... i have 1x Airport Extreme (n + Giga LAN) and 1x Airport Express (n).
My apartment is cabled with Cat 5e. Im looking to get the fastest experience both for WAN and LAN possible and am wanting to have a G and an N capable network (for legacy devices and mobiles)
My thoughts, and where im looking to be challenged, is the best way to have the Thompson DSL modem set to bridge, and shoot the WAN to the Airport Extreme which would then distribute the IPs via DHCP. It would serve up N class wireless as well..
now the part i need some direction on.. the airport express, I cant shoot an N signal to it if i want it to share via G... so can I use a giga lan port on the Extreme and then plug it into the express and get it to share the same lan via G?

Hello Jono Haysom. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
now the part i need some direction on.. the airport express, I cant shoot an N signal to it if i want it to share via G... so can I use a giga lan port on the Extreme and then plug it into the express and get it to share the same lan via G?
Yes. With the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) connected to the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) by Ethernet, AND with the AXn reconfigured as a bridge, wireless clients connected to the AXn will be on the same LAN subnet as those clients connected to the AEBSn.

Need some help with a file server!

Hi,
I'm wanting to get a mac mini or the mac mini server (whichever is needed) and connect all of my random external drives i have lying about to it. Basically, i'm wanting to set up a mini file server that i can access from anywhere in the world. I have enough space with the external drives to store my music library, other general storage and maintain a backup of my OS drive and portable external that i carry around with me, but i don't know how i'd set it up so that i could access my hard drives and use them normally from anywhere.
Also, with Mail Server, i'd like it if i could store all of my emails on the server computer and be able to access them on my Macbook. I don't know what i need though. For my needs, do i even need the server program or can i just use Lion (or even Snow Leopard if i choose) by itself? And if i did need the server, would i need it on just the server computer or both the server and my Macbook?
Sorry if i haven't explained this very well, if you didn't fully understand just ask me and i'll try to rephrase it.
Thanks in advance
mr meister

Be careful what you wish for.
Either Mac OS X, or Mac OS X Server can act as a simple file server for your LAN.
Granting access to external/remote users is largely a facet of setting access controls in your router to allow external clients to access your machine, but you have to consider the security implications of doing so - how do you make sure that you, and only you, access your data and not your local script kiddie down the street - or evem some hacker in China?
HOWEVER, as simple as that may be, performance is going to be your issue.
Local disks in your machine are typically connected on a bus that runs as several gigabits per second.
Even the server on your LAN is connected to your client over, typically, a gigabit connection.
However, your internet connection is likely to be measured in megabits per second... or two orders of magnitude lower than a local connection. You're really not going to want to use this for normal usage - e.g. accessing files - it's probably only practical for copying files to/from your machine.
As for mail, there are a myriad of issues in running your own mail server, especially if you don't have your own domain and static IP addresses. I'd seriously defer that question until you're more settled in your server plans.

Upgrade from DW8 to CS4. need some advise/info

Since 1 year I`m using DW8 (Studio 8) as I started making websites with this program. (it is far much interesting as the progam I had before).
This year I learned about PHP and databases and dynamic websites.
I`m thinking of getting CS4.
Now I have some questions for which I hope you can give me some info or advise :
1) Can I only upgrade the DW8 out of Studio 8 upto CS4?
2) Is there much difference between them.   Are the buttons or option to be found somewhere else or are they still in the same place?
3) Can I still use my old page of DW8 in CS4?   Or do I need to convert or rebuild them?
4) Any common bugs in CS4. I do ask this one as I`m not that technical to overcome some bugs that seems easy to pro`s.
Thanks in advance
Kind regards
martine

No, that's not correct. "Upgrade" refers only to the price you pay. Regardless of which version you buy, the Studio 8 software remains on your computer, and can still be used.
However, as I said before, you cannot run Dreamweaver 8 and Dreamweaver CS4 at the same time on a Windows computer. If, for some reason, you want to use Dreamweaver 8, you must close Dreamweaver CS4. After you have finished working with Dreamweaver 8, close it, and then you can relaunch Dreamweaver CS4.
David,
You are confusing me.
With `full` version I mean : the higher price.
With `upgrade` I mean the cheaper price.
From the earlier messages I understood that an `upgrade` (thus the cheaper price) of 1 piece of Studio 8 is not possbile.
So to have DW8 (out of Studio 8) changed into DW CS4 I have the following option :
- I purchase the full (thus higher price) version of Dreamweaver CS4.   Then I can install CS4 and still all programs of Studio 8 can be used.
or
- I purchase an `upgrade` (thus the cheaper price) from Studio 8 to CS4 Web Standard. Here we go from one suite to another and all programs are updated/upgraded.
Hope I`m out of the confusion now.

Need some advise - MSI K9N2 Sli Platinum

Hello. I have some strange behavior of the system since the last week. Processor´s fan speeds up and down. Usualy is 3400-3600rpm; now speeds up to 5400-5600rpm and stay accelerate for a good while. I thought it could be some dust; yesterday I made a general cleaning of the hardware and also replaced the Thermaltake fan with another one which I have for replacement. The heatsink is firm, deos not have movements. The thermal grase is OCZ Freeze etc, something good, seems to be hardened because heatsink stay firm. This was assembled some 16 month ago.
I started again the PC, slow down the processor´s speed from OC 3.2Ghz to the basic 2.8 Ghz and the problem still go on. I thought this could be come system drivers problem, some sensor related. Then, I download the sys driver 15.49_nforce_winvista_win7_64bit_intern ational_whql from nVidia site and install it. Nothing, the problem is the same.
also: http://i44.tinypic.com/120pix4.jpg
The readings of Temperatures the TMPIN0 and TMPIN1, north and south bridge are ok. The TMPIN2 127°C is a dead sensor, it allways was like that from the beginning. Don´t pay attention to it.
I´m really worried that thomething bad could happen and I have not a replacement for this mobo now.
Could be some bad or crazy sensor which send some erroneous signal and that´s could be the origin of this situation?
Does it exist the possibility the mobo get fried?
I hope you´ll have the best advise for me.
My best regards,

I'm confused. You say to ignore the 127° reading, but then state you are concerned and talk about a false reading. What reading and what exactly are you concerned with, the CPU temps? If your system were getting that hot(127°C), you'd shut down or blow something. I'm sure it's a false reading.
If you wish to remove the heatsink, get something like Artic Silver 5 so you have a different paste to use. Then, boot to the bios and leave it there for 15 minutes and shut down(you can simply hit the power off button this way). Immediately, after shutdown, removing the power cord and pushing the power on button several times to drain the capacitors, try and remove the Heatsink carefully with some slight wiggle back and forth motion. Hopefully, the heating of the TIM will make it pliable enough for easier removal. DO NOT USE FORCE.

Need some help with multi dimensional arrays plz

Hello,
Lets say I have a three-dim array, call it pyList. This array goes from pyList[0][0][0] to pyList[5][5][5] (216 values). Now, I also have a two-dim array, call it V, which goes from V[0][0] to V[35][5]. What I would like to do is assign V[0][0] the value in pyList[0][0][0], V[0][1] to pyList[0][0][1], and so on up to V[0][5] = pyList[0][0][5]. Then I want V[1][0] = pyList[0][1][0]...
I want this to go on until V[35][5] = pyList[5][5][5]. Basically Im splitting up pyList into chunks of 6 consecutive values and making each row in V equal to those 6 values.
Is this possible to do? I cant seem to figure out the proper way to set up the for loops so that my indices are correct.
If anything is unclear please let me know.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
-Big_Goon

Do you need to create new arrays? That is, should the array V[0] be a different object than pyList[0][0]?
Since "multidimensional arrays" are simply arrays of arrays it is possible to write V[0] = pyList[0][0] and then every V[0][x] is the same as pyList[0][0][x]. But if you change either of them the change will show in both arrays.
Otherwise, you will need a loop:for (int y = 0; y < 36; y++)
System.arraycopy(pyList[y / 6][y % 6], 0, V[y], 0, 6);Or maybe it's more maintanable with two:for (int y = 0; y < 6; y++)
for (int x = 0; x < 6; x++)
System.arraycopy(pyList[y][x], 0, V[6*y + x], 0, 6);

I'm in the process of creating a WiFi network from my IMac to my LG HDTV. I am incorporating a LG WiFi capable Blu-ray player and will purchase an Apple Express or Apple Extreme router. I need some advise on using this aquipment.

I need help in determining the best way to create a WiFi network from my IMAC to a WiFi capable LG Blu-Ray player that will connect to my LG HDTV. Since I will only need one network I need to know which is the best Apple Airport router to use (Express or Extreme). What is the correct way to connect these units? It seem self explanitory,but I'm checking my thinking. My HDTV is about 20' from where the airport router will be installed with a wall between them. Has anyone created this network? Is this the best way to create a WiFi network?

My MacBook just shuts down! Need some advises...

Hey guys,
how are ya? I have a big time bad issue. Since yesterday my white MacBook (1,83 GHz, 1GB RAM) just shuts down, without any anouncements. When I tried to start it again, it stucks for some secs and then all of a sudden it shuts down again. Today I had some buddies here over. They saw my new Apple Macbook. I thought I show them some Apple style thangs. What happened after I showed them something on the internet??? It shuts down! Just like that! I felt like a piece of shoot. My buddies were laughing! And I thought: Oh no! Not again.
What in gods name is that issue? Am I the only one? What shall I do? I just want a MacBook that works. Why did I switch? It's just like windows...

I've used Macs for almost 20 years, and I've had to use PCs in recent years for work stuff. I thought the MacBook was the answer to my prayers. I sold a perfectly reliable iBook and Dell Inspiron to purchase the MacBook.
Once they get the shutdown issues fixed, I think it'll be worth what I paid for it, but it's definitely frustrating. Don't lose faith in Apple. This kind of thing happens to everyone, but I sure do wish I had put off my MacBook purchase.
I was supposed to have my logic board replaced on Monday, but guess what? The replacement logic board was defective.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrrgggghhhhh!
I swear, all I want is a public admission by Apple that they screwed up with some of the first MacBooks. Seriously. Everyone makes mistakes, and electronics can't always be perfect out of the box. I know that. I just the psychological satisfaction that will come with an admission on their part.
It happened with the discoloration. I went into an Apple store with my "PinkBook" in early June, and they said it was obviously my fault. I can't wait to go back there and ask them how many stained MacBooks they've seen.
CrapBook...I mean MacBook (1 gig RAM; 120 gig HD); 20" iMac Core Duo (1 gig RAM; 250 gig HD) Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Need some advise on Multi-role server as a backup
