Hi

The setup at head office as follows

We have windows server 2003 and exchange server 2003 at different servers

What are the settings need to be configured and kept in mind for installing
exchange at the branch office

For our office one branch is coming up for about 70 users at branch office.
so we are planning to role out one exchange server at the branch.

The branch will be connected with Headoffice with 2MB leased link for mail,
internetacess, etc

Can anyone guide me how to configure things etc?

How replication will take place between two offices

Thanks a lot

When you install the new server in your branch, it will be added to the
first administrative group by default.
- Mail flow between the 2 servers should work out of the box - both servers
will be in the same Routing Group.
- Outbound internet mailflow: Out of the box branch server will route itself
unless there's a SMTP Connector for address space *. If the Connector's in
place, outbound mail will be routed over the bridgehead specified in the
Connector config.
- Inbound mail: Will be routed to the server the MX record in your external
DNS points to. It's a good idea to insert another MX record with higher
preference and point it to the A record of the new server. This ensures if
your first server goes offline/down, the branch can receive inbound mail -
branch recipients will get their messages delivered, mail for recipients on
your first server will be queued till it becomes available.
- You could create a new Routing Group and move the branch server to it, but
it doesn't really buy you anything except a little better routing control,
useful in bandwidth-constrained environments.
- For OWA access from the internet, you would need to open up the necessary
ports to the branch server and insert an A record in your external DNS. For
users on both servers to be able to access OWA using the same URL, you would
need to install a FE server.
