Hello, I am going to be migrating Exchange next month so I am planning it out right now. &nbsp;Due to hardware/budget constraints, I am going to have to do 2 migrations to get this rolling the way we want. &nbsp;Right now we have a Front/Backend solution. &nbsp;I am going to have to temporarily move all mailboxes to another interim server in order to free up the existing backend server, and then I will be building an Active/Passive cluster with a frontend server. &nbsp;I have done a few Exchange migrations in the past, but I have never added an A/P cluster to an organization.<br />
<br />
So my questions are:<br />
1. Should I dump/disable the frontend server portion during the migration in order to make this process a little simpler?<br />
2. Are there any guidelines/manauls out there that describe the necessary steps to add an A/P cluster to an existing Exchange Organization.<br />
<br />
<br />
P.S.<br />
To add a little more fun to this project, we also use Unity and Call Manager.
