Configuring two Exchange 5.5 Servers for a single domain name
Hi,
Can some one help me to configure two different mail servers (exchange 5.5 )for a single domain name (mydomain.com)?
I have a primary domain controller ( nt 4.0 ). Under this I need to configure two exchange 5.5 servers for a single domain name ( mydomain.com ). On one mail server (mail1)I would like to have users from development and on the second mail server ( mail2 ) I would like to have users from marketing.
Both the mail servers should have their own
1. Internet mail connector
2. Information store
Can some one help me on this ?
Thanks in Advance
Joel

Hi,
Thank you very much for your help.
I have few questions to ask with the solution ( Way 1 )Since we would like to have email id like someone@mydomain.com.
1. Can each IMS handle both inbound and outbound ?if so please explain me.
2. Is it possible for me to replicate information store from server1(mail1) to server 2 (mail2) ? Both servers will be under same site and same nt domain ( PDC ) if so please explain me.
3. When we have only one mail server ( exchange 5.5 with sp4) what are the best solutions if the server crashes to bring it online quickly or any other alternate solution !!
Thanks in advance
Joel.

Hi, on your points...
1. IMS can handle inbound and outbound together. There are a couple of TechNet articles to help you through setting up outbound properly...
This Document "Configuring Internet Mail Service on MS Exchange Server 5.5" will help.
2. No. Only one IS can run on each server at any one point in time. If you want two running servers in your environment then you need additional software & hardware to replicate IS's to a 3rd and 4th box.
3. You can Cluster the system or run something like Legato Co-Standby Server (used to be from Vinca), If you don't invest in additional equipment then become real familiar with the "Disaster Recovery White Papers", again published on the MS site and on TechNet. They contain scenarios for just about every 5.5 failure and the resolution paths.
Good luck with the reading and let me have the 200 points :-)
