Hi-
Is it possible to setup/add another Witness server for providing resilicency to the "non-primary" Exch Server/node when there is a Failover/heartbeat lost when our WAN fails?
We have 2 Exchange Servers - "each" server is in a seperate site using DAG across a WAN.
Yes - we know this is not recommended.
If we have 1 - Witness server in the remote location - can we add another Witness server to our local site?
Reason:
When the WAN fails - our Exchange server does not function.
And our mailbox DB will then failover to the other Exch Server when the WAN reconnects.
We have to sync/reseed our mailbox and then activate it so it becomes the "active" copy again.
Is there a way to avoid this scenario?
Without buying another exchange Server?
We've also tried increasing the heartbeat - does that max at 2 min?
Our WAN has been down much longer.
Thanks for any help.
