I'm actually going to do the same exact thing come 2012 Paul. (F5 being my HWLB). Any other docs would be greatly appreciated just the same. Also, if there is a book recommendation out there that maybe spends a little more time on DAG's, I'd relay that over to whoever picked me for Secret Santa this year. =) On Wed, Dec 14, 2011 at 8:46 AM, Michael B.

Neil Hobson is a good author (and he now works for Microsoft UK), as is Henrik Walther, as is Jaap Wesselius, as is Tim McMichael. They have all written extensively on DAGs. Regards, Michael B.

Thanks both. Any suggestions on a reputable real-world guide? There are lots but not having done this before I don’t know which to trust. http://www.simple-talk.com/sysadmin/exchange/exchange-2010-dag-creation-and-configuration-part-1/ Seems fairly decent and I’ve used their site before for other stuff which has worked well.

We currently have a single multi-role Exchange 2010 SP1 box running as a VM. Early next year I’d like to add a second server to give us a two server DAG, and a hardware load balancer. Given I already have a working production server, just how much impact on my users is this likely to cause? We’re not a 24/7 shop so five or ten minutes here and there, or downtime for the DNS to switch to the HWLB isn’t a big deal, but is there any part of the process which screams “two hours of downtime to do this part”?
