It is typical that there would be two servers. It is not typical that one would be Lync and the other would be SfB.

And there is no one to ask because they just hired a new "director of IT" who quite frankly knows less than my 9 yr old nephew. This person does not even know how spin up a VM- I will ask why there are two and see what the respnse is ________________________________ From: mich...@smithcons.com<mailto:mich...@smithcons.com> To: ntsys...@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:ntsys...@lists.myitforum.com>; exchange@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:exchange@lists.myitforum.com> Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Lync / Skype Date: Thu, 1 Sep 2016 16:06:05 +0000 There are number of configurations where this could be possible (Lync on the Edge, SfB on the backend, for example), but none of them are ideal and would generally indicate that a migration got stalled or broken in the middle. I would ask that question. Doing a DR on a broken config is generally not a simple thing to do.
