EXCHANGE and WNLB

Hi Experts,

I am in the phase of upgrading from EXCH2007 to EXCH2013.
Now in EXCH2007 we use a windows NLB with the HUBCAS servers.

Now in EXCH2013 this is not supported anymore.

My new EXCH2013 consists of 3 multi role servers.
I am also preparing a coexistense for my migration.

Can you show me the way to change over without the NLB ?
What kind of steps are important ?

Hi,

as you said, it is not supported anymore.

You could change Outlook Anywhere internal namespace to be the same, on all 3 machines, and in that case clients would user DNS round robin to connect to it. It takes around 20sec for clients to go from one server to another, in case of failure.

If not that, then you would need load balancer.

For first solution, here is a use full link: http://exchangeserverpro.com/exchange-2013-client-access-server-high-availability/

Regards,
Ivan.

ok thanks so far.  I will use the new DNS record LATENCY for the old NLB setup.

the users of my old EXCH2007 cluster have the clustername as accesspoint -> CLexch2007

But the new DAG has another name -> NAME-DAG

What happens when we do the migration, what happens with all the clients?
Does Autodiscover knows the Client Access name ?
