In this document, we look at how to configure high availability on your server with the Client Access role in Exchange 2010, based on an NLB cluster (Network Load Balancing), to avoid any service outage and to be able to accept requests at all times from the client computers.
One of the new features and advantages that Exchange offers us 2010 is the possibility of having a high availability system in a simple way, being easy to implement, at any time and above all the simplicity of administration. It is based on the implementation of DAG or Database Availability Group, by mounting a replica of the databases between the different Mailbox servers (or on the same computer if we have all the roles on the same server), so this replaces the old Exchange clusters 2007, SCR and CSF; and therefore now we will simply need two servers and not three or more as required in Exchange 2007!
Microsoft Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server (FPE) is the Edge Protection Server for a Microsoft Exchange organization 2010, where we can manage all the blocking of incoming mail in order to reject unwanted emails either by the condition we configure (Anti SPAM), since it provides us with 5 Anti-Antivirus Definition Engines from Different Manufacturers! We will also avoid anti-malware, We have the possibility of extensive configuration from a console that is easy to manage, We also have an information area that is also quite cool. And manageability with PowerShell, of course! This server must be the one that collects external mail and sends it to our organization, the ideal is to mount it on the server that is in the DMZ totally isolated from our organization and on the server with the Edge Transport function.
This article shows a task that we will have to perform in our Microsoft Exchange organization 2007, as the services offered by Exchange use certificates to ensure connectivity, whether internal or external communication. In principle, once we have installed Exchange Server 2007, The certificates you generate for each service will last us a year, so before they expire we will have to renew them, We will detect this with events in the Event Viewer, or directly due to a drop in said service.
In Exchange 2010 It is well known that in order to communicate securely, each Microsoft Exchange Server service uses a secure connection using certificates; these certificates ensure the IMAP connection (Internet Message Access Protocol), POP (Post Office Protocol), SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), IIS (Internet Information Services) and UM (Unified Messaging). And we will take special care to keep them renewed or valid. On Exchange Server 2007 this renewal process was carried out with three commands in PowerShell and now they have implemented the possibility of doing it through a wizard!
If we have a Microsoft Exchange Server organization already deployed on our network and we want to give it more security, we may deploy an Exchange server in the DMZ or DMZ with the intent not to directly expose our Exchange servers on the LAN to the internet. Microsoft has a role or function called Edge Transport function that will allow us to filter spam, as well as antivirus or create transport rules.
PowerGUI is one of the best free tools, especially for those of us who work with PowerShell environments and still do not feel comfortable, it is a graphic tool that allows us to create, edit, import, export our Windows PowerShell-based scripts. In this document we will see how to install it that has nothing and how we can organize our scripts, as well as being able to see how to use scripts for VMware, Exchange, Active Directory, SQL, Routers, communications, Internet, Systems Center, Operations Manager, Xen, Hyper-V, Citrix, Skype, Reporting, Twitter … everything that relies on PowerShell.
In this document, we'll look at the steps to take when migrating a Microsoft Exchange Server organization 2003 to Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, we will note that in this document we will migrate an Exchange server 2003 with mailboxes, Public Folders, policies and OWA to an Exchange server 2010 With all the roles (Transport Hub, Client Access, Mailbox and Exchange Management Tools). If we want to get an Exchange organization 2010 With the separate functions we can use the document as a guide, since each migration is completely different from the rest.
In this document we will see the commands that we have to execute to prepare our Active Directory and be able to host a Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, whether for a new installation or migration, we will also look at the requirements at the Active Directory level.
An atypical document, but super interesting if we find ourselves in this case. I had the need to put a corporate fund and a corporate signature for my users' email, it doesn't matter Outlook 2003 than with Outlook 2007 or directly with OWA; my servers are Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007. I needed a tool that would integrate with Active Directory and that could automatically put a signature on each user with their name, Surnames, charge, email… without me manually having to do anything, that takes it all from the Active Directory data. And then deploy it automatically with a GPO directive and vúalá! All users with corporate email.
