Title: RE: Sizing second server in a site

It sounds like a sync issue. Has enough time passed to allow the server to sync the mailbox data?

You'll have to allow relaying from the second server on the first server's
IMC. 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?

Opps wanted to add that I've not installed IMS on the second server as I
wish to use the 1st servers IMS.

cheers

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).

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)

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
