Here is my configuration:
My network is a small LAN (150 user and 3 servers), only 1 domain.
Server A: DC Roles(Domain Name Master, Escheme Master)+ GC
Server B: DC Roles(other 3 roles of the forest) + GC
Server C: Exchange 2000 Member server
Questions ?
1-Server A FAIL:
If Global Catalog server (Server A) go down the client computers can't
contact de Exchange server. So how can I force de Exchange server to use the
other Global Catalog server (Server B) ?
How my Exchange Client should be able to fail over to the GC B?
Note: I don't want to restart server B or C
2- In Exchange 2000 Administrative console --- Server Property---- Directory
Access appear the topology of my Domain:
What is the function and difference of:?
DC
GC
Configuration server
How can I mitigate the domino effect ?
I want to add some redundancy for state available the Exchange server in
case of one GC server go DOWN. HOW do it?
