Hi Philip If you can find it online check out Scott Schnoll's Mailbox High Availability in Exchange 2010 deep dive. It explains it really well. The issue with a single DAG solution in this scenario is as someone mentioned split brain. Regards [cid:image001.jpg@01CC9484.CA23F5D0] Peter Johnson

But of the WAN link goes down between site A and site B, and both sites can still talk to the fsw in site C, you could potentially end up with a split brain DAG, which is Very Bad Mojo. Missy On Oct 26, 2011, at 3:34 PM, Young, Philip philip.yo...@covance.commailto:philip.yo...@covance.com

I’m having real trouble getting my head around this. I’ve implemented – and tested – our DAG and it seems to work exactly as I want it to. *3 nodes in each datacentre (10Gig link between them; call them DC1 and DC2) * FSW in a third DC (another 10Gig link; DC3) When I was testing this, we cut

So Microsoft wasn't as much help as I had hoped. But I had an epiphany while taking a shower. Then I thought no way that it could be that. I'd have expected all kinds of other issues. Jumped out of the shower, logged into the server and sure enough. It seems that sometime in the distant
