EXCHANGE, ACTIVE DIRECTORY, VMWARE
I have vmCAS1 as exchange 2007 CAS
vmMBX2 as exchange mailbox server
we have resource exchange forest set up and linked to their account forest.
they are all in production environment
we want to create test environment with CAS and MBX server.
can we do any ovf copy of present environment i.e CAS and MBX servers in VMware and if we place in test lab environment CAS and MBX servers can we still create linked mailboxes
we need to upgrade to exchange 2010 so we want to do some testing.
since test and production are in different subnet, can replication take place between these mbx severs in production and test.
