All, We are trying to determine the exact sequence that occurs when clients (browsers, mobile, Outlook, etc.) first begin using Exchange 2010 Client Access Servers. I would like to be able to install the CAS role in our organization and do some testing before the servers actually begin responding to client requests. For example owa.contoso.com resolves to a vip on our load balancers (F5) which send requests to our Exchange 2007 CAS. I would like to install 2010 CAS, create the proper rules on the F5 and test before directing owa.contoso.com to the Exchange 2010 servers.
I believe we have a good understanding of the process for coexistence in terms of DNS, SAN cert requirements, and the Set-ClientAccessServer commands that need to be run. Our goal is to have a controlled cut-over and avoid being immediately in production once the 2010 CAS binaries are installed. Is this possible? Thanks for the help and let me know if I need to clarify anything. Peter --- To manage subscriptions click here: or send an email to with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist
