Setting up CAS arrat
I am trying to setup a CAS array in our test environment. I have 2 exchange servers but running CAS. I installed Network Load Balancing feature on both Exchange servers. I added a DNS entry for CAS array.
On the NLB Manger I receive an error at the end of the cluster setup (see screen shot). What I am doing wrong? EXDAG1 is one of exchange server name. The IP address of the cluster array is 192.169.1.70.

To clarify, Cluster Services is used by Exchange to enable DAG functionality, so if you have an Exchange Server that is going to be a DAG member, you can't also install and use the Network Load Balancing feature on that server. If you want to make use of DAG and have a CAS array, you either have to separate the CAS roles to different servers than the Mailbox roles and install NLB on those servers or make use of a Hardware Load Balancer device.
