Protecting Microsoft Exchange Server Environments › Modify the Exchange Configuration on the Master and Replica

Modify the Exchange Configuration on the Master and Replica

When the HA scenario is running, do not make any changes to the Exchange configuration on the Master (such as adding a new database to a replicated Exchange Server 2007 storage group). You must stop the scenario before making changes.

Important! If you make changes to an HA scenario that is running, after a switchover, the Exchange Server on the Replica may not be able to start.

To modify the Exchange configuration on the Master or Replica

1. Stop the scenario.
2. Make the changes on the Exchange Server on the Master.
3. Make the same changes on the Exchange Server on the Replica.
4. Run auto-discovery. (On the Framework pane, open the Root Directories tab for the Master, and double-click the Auto-discovered icon.) Auto-discovery identifies the changes made to the Master configuration automatically.
5. Save the scenario by clicking the Save button.
6. Run auto-configuration on the Replica so that it can remain consistent with the Master.
7. Restart the scenario.

Alternatively, you can stop and auto-configure an existing scenario after auto-discovery completes.

Note: Auto-discovery and auto-configuration does not synchronize Exchange or Database properties. You must apply the same changes on the Replica server.
