The Edge Transport server role

Overview of Server Roles in Exchange Server 2010
In Exchange Server 2010, servers are installed with specific functional roles:
• Hub Transport Server role
• Mailbox Server role
• Edge Transport Server role
• Client Access Server role
• Unified Messaging Server role

What Is a Database Availability Group?
A DAG is a collection of servers that provides the infrastructure for replicating and
activating database copies. DAGs:
• Require the failover clustering feature, although all installation and configuration
is done with the Exchange Server management tools
• Use Active Manager to control failover
• Use an enhanced version of the continuous replication technology that Exchange
Server 2007 introduced
• Can be created after the Mailbox server is installed
• Allow a single database to be activated on another server in the group without
affecting other databases
• Allow up to 16 copies of a single database on separate servers
• Define the boundary for replication

What Is Active Manager?
Active Manager:
• Runs a process on each server in the DAG
• One node is the Primary Active Manager
• Remaining nodes are Secondary Active Managers
• Manages which database copies are active and which are passive
• Stores database state information
• Manages database switchover and failover processes
• Does not require direct administration configuration

Understanding the Failover Process
If a failure occurs, the following steps occur for the failed database:
Active Manager determines the best copy to activate
The replication service on the target server attempts to copy missing log files from
the best “source”:
• If successful, the database mounts with zero data loss
• If unsuccessful (failover), the database mounts based on the
AutoDatabaseMountDial setting
The mounted database generates new log files (using the same log generation
sequence)
Transport dumpster requests are initiated for the mounted database to recover lost
messages
When original server or database recovers, it determines if any logs are missing or
corrupt, and fixes them if possible

How Personal Archives Work in
Exchange Server 2010
Exchange Server 2010 Personal Archives require a secondary or archive mailbox for
the user
The Personal Archive:
• Must be in the same mailbox database as the
primary mailbox
• Appears as a folder in Outlook 2010 or Outlook Web App
• Is indexed and searchable
• Is not cached in Outlook
• Can be managed using messaging records management
policies
Personal Archives can help organizations meet legal and corporate requirements by
ensuring that all messages are stored
in an Exchange server mailbox

Disaster Mitigation Options in
Exchange Server 2010
Risk
Loss of a message
Loss of a mailbox
Loss of a database
or server
Logical corruption
in the database
Mitigation Option
• Configure recoverable items folder and deleted
item retention settings
• Recover messages from backup by using the
recovery database
• Configure and use mailbox retention settings
• Configure hold policy, and recover it
• Back up the Exchange Server data, and recover
database to a recover database
• Create a DAG on another server
• Recover the server from backup
• Install Exchange with /m:RecoverServer option
• Create a lagged database copy in a DAG
environment
• Backup the Exchange Server data, and recover
database

Disaster Recovery Options for Mailbox
Exchange Server 2010 provides theServers
following disaster recovery features for Mailbox
servers:
• Disaster recovery with DAGs
• Mailbox servers in a DAG can host other server roles
• Point-in-time database snapshot with lagged copy of DAG
• Recovery database to recover mailboxes, folders, or items
• Lower cost of DAG backup compared to existing backup
www.NetComLearning.com
What Is Database Mobility?
Database mobility enables you to move mailbox databases between Mailbox servers
To move a mailbox database to another server:
• Perform a soft recovery on the database
• Create the destination mailbox database
• Move the database files and mount the database
• Reconfigure the user mailboxes
High Availability Solution for Mailbox
Mailbox data high availability: Servers
• Single database failover
• Requires failover clustering feature
• Allows up to 16 copies of each database
• Allows up to 14 days for lag copies
Public Folder high availability:
• Leverages Public Folder replication
• Is similar to previous Exchange Server versions
www.NetComLearning.com
What Is the Transport Dumpster?
The transport dumpster:
• Protects against Mailbox server failures when transaction logs have been lost
• Keeps copies of all messages delivered in the transport queue (mail.que) until
the transaction logs have replicated to all servers in the DAG, or until the
maximum dumpster size is reached
• Redelivers missing e-mail messages when a failure occurs

Availability for Hub Transport Servers

delivered past the next hop
