Very good points Carl!
Mr. G: Did you happen to move all the mailboxes & PF to Site 2? If not, what did you move over to site2?

My dumbest move of 2008 (and it's only February)... We have Ex 2K3 running at Site1 and are connected to Site2 via a 3mb MPLS connection. One domain over both. I brought up a second Ex 2k3 server at Site2, thinking I was creating some reliability. RIGHT...! Now, when the Site2 Ex 2k3 server is down, Site1 users get "Exchange is off-line" messages. 1. Where did I go wrong (aside from not testing this under virtualization we don't have)? 2. And is there a path out of the quicksand? Thanks in advance G.
