Hi Erhard
Install AD on your first machine. This would best be on a sepearte server
if posssible as this will be your FSMO. This is only for performance
reasons.
If your machine is powerful enough it may not even be necessary. Then put
at least one Global Catalog (GC) per site if possible which if I understand
right is what you are planning.
Define your Sites in AD based on the IP subnets you will have then use site
Connectors (not the same as Site Connectors in Exchange 5.5). This isn't a
showstopper if not done but may affect logon times as AD won't necessarily
use the right domain controllers for logons or the right GC's for displaying
the GAL in Outlook.
For connecting the three servers you have two sensible options. You can
either put them all in the same routing group or have three separate and
then use routing group connectors which are SMTP based.
Having 3 MX records pointing to each server has both positive and negative
points. In its favour you will have redundancy. You may well need 3 copies
of Exchange AV software depending on which one you decide to use and hence 3
times the cost. I must admit I am not totally sure about the routing off the
top of my head and I can see a problem with disabling public folder
referrals if you have each server connected to the Internet directly. This
isn't an area I am expert on in E2K.
Talking of AV software what have you in mind? You may actually be better off
with a external Smart host?
If any one knows better please feel free to comment.
Regards,
Paul Lemonidis.
