Exchange 5.5 SP3 with Site Connector on 2 servers...want to exclude one server but keep Site Connect

SearchExchange Staff

Published: 06 Feb 2001

I have a question about Exchange 5.5 and Site Connector. I have two servers into a 5.5 SP3 Site and I am just excluding its first Exchange Server. The second server will assume all functions from the first server. I have seven Site Connectors to other sites. May I stay with the same Site Connectors and Directory Replicator Connectors configuration to the seven sites, without recreating it on the second server? May I just modify it before I exclude the first server?
You will need to reconfigure the connectors so that they point to the second server instead of the first. If you remove the first server without doing this, you will break connectivity.
