Hi,
i have an issue with the balancing feature of a virtual server under settings -> virtual servers.
Whenever i create a hosting, it always defaults to Hosted Exchange Server #2. Regardless of how many hostings i create, it always allocates Exchange Server #2. When i remove Exchange Server #2 from the virtual server setup, leaving only Exchange Server #1, it creates the Hosting on Exchange Server #1. As soon as i add the Exchange Server #2 it instantly creates all hostings on Server #2 again.
I would really like to use this feature for balanced distributing of our exchange hostings across a few servers. I've tried everything and am out of ideas. Maybe someone can help.
PS: It works fine with distributing hosting packages on about 10 webservers (System / Web / FTP). Same setup, excluding the exchange option
Here's my test setup
Virtual Server Name: test
Primary Distribution Group: OS
System -> 2 Webservers (not on below Exchange Servers)
Mode: Balanced
Mail -> 1 Mailserver (not on below Exchange Servers, for non Exchange Accounts)
Hosted Exchange -> 2 Servers (not on above Webservers)
Mode: Balanced
Hosted Organisations -> 1 Server (DC / AD of the above 2 Exchange Servers)
DNS -> 1 Server
Hosting Plan Name: Test
- Included are all the features available in the above virtual configuration setup
Hello,
It sounds strange it doesn't distribute exchange correctly.
With your configuration you would expect it to balance correctly, I will have to try and simulate this in our devlab and see why it's balancing different for exchange servers.
One question about your setup tho: The 2 different Exchange servers they appear to be on the same Active Directory domain? (if so i am guessing they are mainly different on Databases/ DAG? )
regards,
Marco
