I have Exchange 2010 Sp3 Environment configured in DAG. DAG is having two members and both are in the same AD site.
AD setup:-
We have two AD sites. Primary Site and DR site. (Exchange is not configured in DR site). Primary Site is having 2 DC's and these are GC's as well.
DR site is having single DC-GC.
Issue:-
I can see that the Mailbox server is doing Active Directory discovery in every 15 mins. Getting event 2080 AD access in event viewer.
The issue is " In site - I can see only single dc " I am expecting two DC's here because we have two dc's in Primary site. "Out of site:- Is showing single DC" that's correct.
I did a small research and came to know that the exchange server uses only single DC and if I want to multiple then I will have to configure static DC's and GC's.
In My case is it correct behavior or do I need to change something?
I started this troubleshooting as one day I saw failover due to connectivity lost from primary DC. I don't want a single point of failure situation again . How my mailbox servers will discover two DC's which are available in the primary site.
Thanks, Chinmay.
