Exchange Server - SCR target seperate AD site

Asked By sawyer

Hello all

I already have up and running a server running the mailbox server role. The
server is running windows 2008 sp2 and exchange 2007 sp2. The mailbox server
is located in AD siteA, I also have two servers that are running a
combination of HT and CAS roles, the CAS role is setup in a WNLB
configuration. I now want to setup a separate mailbox server that would be
located in AD siteB, and I want the mailbox server located in AD siteB to be
the SCR target from the mailbox server located in AD siteA. My questions are

separate AD site, do I now also have to setup a HT and CAS server located in
the same site?

the mailbox server located in AD siteB then what the CAS and HT servers do?
are they providing any services to anything? from my understanding these
roles are needed, but unless a failover occurs, they really do not provide
any services to clients?

what roles or services do the CAS and HT servers provide that are located in
AD siteA? can I still continue to use them to provide OWA,EAS and
autodiscovery? and what about email routing to and from the internet?
currently all inbound and outbound emails get routed through the HT servers
located in AD siteA

Many thanks as always for you help

I do not think you do.  But you might as well set them up now because you
will need them if you ever turn that mailbox server into a production
server.  That is, it seems to me that most people do SCR for a
site-resiliency purpose and the last thing you would  want to have to do when
performing a disaster recovery is build new servers.

site exchange organization from mixed mode to native mode. I now have two Administrative Groups: SiteA SiteB If I look at my Recipient Policies I see I have: A default policy, with which sets smtp to @ourdomain.com and X400 to "c = GB;a = ;p = OURORGNAME;o = SITEA" A "SITEA" policy, with a filter of sets smtp to @ourdomain.com and X400 to "c = GB;a = ;p = OURORGNAME;o = SITEA" A "SITEB" policy with a filter of sets smtp to @ourdomain.com and X400 to "c = GB a = ;p = OURORGNAME;o = SITEB". I'm unclear which I actually still need, obviously we have a shared smtp namespace it?
