Exchange Failover Capabilities
LockedMy company currently has two Exchange 5.5 SP4 servers running, both are in the same org and site and running on WinNT 4.0 SP6a machines. My problem is that I want to be able to replicate mailboxes, distribution lists, and mail to the second Exchange server so that I can easily failover to the second Exchange machine by simply swapping IP’s between the two machines. I thought this was the main advantage to having a backup in the same site as your production machine but I can’t get the replication to work and if I try to do an export/import it doesn’t create any mailboxes or distribution lists on the backup machine. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to configure something that isn’t configured? Is it possible to get full failover capabilities between two Exchange servers? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
