How to make Exchange 2010 DAG to use primary server to send email?
Posted on 2013-01-06
We used two servers to build a Exchange 2010 DAG and CAS array, do not install NLB service.
And use below command to make Outlook to use primary server to send email.
Set-OutlookProvider EXPR –Server server1.mydomain.com
We do not want load balancing and only want to have auto fail-over to server2 if server1 is down.
However, from Exchange tracking log, there are some users using server2 to send email.
Any idea how to force all Outlook to use primary server as SMTP service by default?
Thank you.

long story short you can't when a mailbox server is also running the hub transport role in a DAG configuration (like in your setup) the mailbox server will always use the HUB transport that is on the other server and that for mail recovery reasons
in other words if you have server1 and server2 each running mailbox and hub all databases on online on server1 will user server2 to send email and vice versa
