Also, depending on your network topology, you may want to try adding an LMHOST entry for the other server on each Exchange machine. It _shouldn't_ be necessary, esp. if using WINS, but it could be worth a look. Also, have you allowed sufficient time for replication to occur, or forced a Directory Synch? -----Original Message----- From: Steve Wyman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 09:46 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Sizing second server in a site Opps wanted to add that I've not installed IMS on the second server as I wish to use the 1st servers IMS. cheers -----Original Message----- From: Steve Wyman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 29 April 2002 17:43 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Sizing second server in a site Ok that's great, I've got a server built to that spec with NT4/exchange installed patched and Joined to the existing site now. If I now use the Mailbox move function within exchange admin I can move a mailbox (mine) to the new server, connect using outlook and all looks well. I can send an email to somebody homed on the 1st server in the site BUT he can't send back to me!! Nor do I get email from the internet I installed the second server in the site using the default exchange 5.5 install join site options Are there any changes I need to make to the 1st server to allow email to flow to the second server? Thanks for any help offered (including URL links to doing this with Exchange 5.5). -----Original Message----- From: Salvador Manzo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 29 April 2002 17:30 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Sizing second server in a site Each server requires it's own DB and logs. IMS can be shared out of a single server. IIRC, the preferred configuration (if you have the disks) is Mirrored Logs and OS partition and Raid 5 Database partition. However, a straight RAID 5 wil work (might not be optimal, but it will work) -----Original Message----- From: Steve Wyman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 02:45 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Sizing second server in a site I have an Ex5.5 SP4 server running on a NT4.0 SP6 server to the following spec Dual PIII 800 processors 2GB RAM O/S Raid 1 Logs Raid 1 Databases Raid 5 750 users For many reasons I now need to add a second server to the site to carry some additional mailbox's My question is with the second server can I run a single Raid 5 array with O/S and databases on it with the logs and IMS etc remaining on the 1st server or does the second server in a site need the logs etc. regards Steve List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
