Mailbox Synchronisation...Possible???
Lee Wilmott
servers. If one Exchange server goes down then we can use the other. (Not
neccessarily automatically).
All mail should exist on BOTH servers.
Is Exchange capable of doing this?
Would I need to purchase additional modules or add-ins?
I have looked at the Directory Replication Connector - but this seems only
to replicate (not synchronise) Public Folders and not mailboxes. Am I
correct in saying that?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

identical Exchange servers and one central storage. The information is not
actually replicated, it is shared. That means that there is still a single
point of failure, the storage machine, it goes down and nothing works.
Lee, I don't have an answer for you. There are methods to use to increase
availability, but nothing with the total replication you are wanting, that I
know of.

Many, many thanks for your reply; it was helpful! At least I know I'm
wasting my time going from one Exchange menu to another!
Please can you (or anyone else!) confirm that the Directory Replicator
Connector enables ONLY the replication of the Global Address Book and Public
Folders!
I don't know what everyone else's feelings are, but I can't believe that we
are the only company that have this requirement. There MUST be a
third-party product out there that can help me!
Anyone know of one?

read Exchange Help to better understand Directory Replication and Public
Folder Replication; what is replicated, when and why. There are some basic
definitions explained.

I thought I heard that Veritas had a product that might help. check their
website.
Personally, I think it is better to go with a standby server that you can do
a restore to in short order. Depending on the type of failure you might have
just a short dowtime of less than hour, or one as great as the length of
time it takes to restore your Info store from backup. Another thing is to
spread user mailboxes among more than one server, so your entire user base
is not affected at the same time. Finally, be very familiar with disaster
and recovery procedures; read the whitepapers at
http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/techinfo/admininterop.htm
Remember, .01% downtime is something like 87 hours a year and that is
obtainable without replication.

Microsoft Cluster Server uses two servers, and a shared SCSI drive
array. You are correct that if the drive array fails, the cluster still
goes down. There may be third-party clustering solutions that use a
"shared-nothing" configuration, but I've never looked into it.
