Hello Board,
i´m having problems in setting up my needed routinggroupconnector to connect 2003 server with an ex2010 system.
My configuration so far:
One Exchange Server 2003
IP:10.0.255.107
Two Exchange Server 2010
IP:192.168.25.103,104 (gw points to LM on each 2010 Server)
Two Loadmaster LM 2200 configured in HA-Mode (2-Arm). One Virtual IP (10.0.255.106) to point to the Exchange 2010 servers. My problem is that i cannot get a direct connection to the EX2010 Servers from the old Exchange 2003 server because the RG-Connector needs the FQDN of the Exchange 2010 Server. I tried the FQDN cas.mydomain.local but that doesnt stick since i need a real Exchange Server name.
My solution to this problem is to switch the two loadmaster 2200 of and disconnect them, then give the two Exchange 2010 system IPs from the same subnet. When my migration from 2003 is done then i would reconnect the Loadmasters and finally using HA.
Is there a more painless workaround to this issue? Maybe i can make both exchangeservers accessible from the same net in which the 2003 server resides and keeping the LM online?
Thanks in advance
