Great! I just wanted to be sure this change doesn't mess up any bridgehead functionality. I'll get a Cisco CSS (load balancer) and point Webmail, SMTP, IMAP & POP3 to these servers. -Devon ________________________________________ From: Mulnick, Al [mailto:Al.Mulnick@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 2:02 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Bridgehead as FE? http://www.MSExchange.org/ FE servers don't run anything that requires a store such as SRS, public folders, reroute via store functions, etc. The advantage of getting rid of the webmail server (this is a FE server correct?) is that you have less hardware overhead in your server room. The downside is the performance and any issues you may have if one of the applications gives you a hard time and requires a restart. Less flexibility we'll call it. Outside of that, running OWA and SMTP on the same machine works like a champ. If you're OK with that, I'm OK with it ;) al ________________________________________ From: Harding, Devon [mailto:dharding@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 1:40 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Bridgehead as FE? http://www.MSExchange.org/ We currently have (1) Mailbox server (2) Bridgehead Servers and (1) Webmail server. Would it be ok to get rid of the webmail server and make the two bridgehead servers front-end servers? These bridgehead servers connect all our AG's (15) to one central location. (Hub & spoke config) I know that FE servers cannot run SRS, are there any other limitations? -Devon ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSEXchange.org Discussion List as: al.mulnick@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ________________________________________ __________________________________ This message and any attachments are solely for the intended recipient and may contain confidential or privileged information.
