  • Varying replication mode within a DAG

    Log shipping is a well-known method for data replication between Exchange servers (and other computers).

  • Multi-role or single-role servers?

    In conversation with an administrator of one of the world’s largest Exchange 2010 deployments, we talked about new Store behaviour in Exchange 2010 SP1 that can lead to Exchange forcing an abrupt termination of the server (a blue screen of death with a CRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION).
